locked. Open the printer and lower the printhead completely
until both latches click into place.

caught label, remove the label and clean the printhead. For

the printhead.

running your fingernail on the surface of the media. If you see

There may be a media jam. Open the printer and check for
stuck labels or ripped perforations.

closed, make sure the round white sticker is present on the
right side of the print and ribbon mechanism.
