Image Does Not Look Right
The printed image does not appear as expected (ie. print on labels are too dark or light).
Printhead is dirty
The printhead could be dirty. Zebra recommends purchasing a cleaning pen. Be sure to always use a new cleaning pen, as an old one can carry contaminants from previous usage and damages the printhead.
Caution: ''The printhead becomes hot while printing. To protect from damaging the
printhead and risk of personal injury, avoid touching the printhead. Use only the cleaning pen to perform maintenance.''
1. Rub the cleaning pen across the dark area of the printhead. Clean from the middle to the outside. This will move adhesive transferred from the edges of media to the printhead
outside of media path.
2. Wait one minute before closing the printer.

A Self-Test May be Required
1. With the printer power off, press and hold the feed button while you turn on the power. Continue holding the feed button down until the printer begins flashing green (pause mode). The printer will flash several different color and flashing combinations prior to flashing only green. Release the feed button. The printer prints out a listing of its current configuration. After printing the label, the printer will automatically enter a diagnostic mode in which the printer prints out a literal representation of all data subsequently received. To exit the diagnostic mode and resume printing, turn off and then turn
on the printer.
2. With the printer power on and top cover closed, press and hold the feed button for several seconds. The green status LED will flash a number of times in sequence. The explanation at the right (Action) shows what happens when you release the key after the specific number of flashes. (See https://support.zebra.com/cpws/docs/zp50...) for explanataion of codes.

When trying to calibrate, it won’t do it correctly and the feed button will start blinking red.

Why do all of my labels print horizontally and not vertically? I'm trying to print off FedEx labels but it keeps printing horizontally.

Hold the power button down for 10-20 seconds to factory reset the printer. That fixed the issue for me.
