Customers call us when they need help with their Sato thermal printers. They typically want to know what was causing their Sato thermal printer problem. As a guide, here are some common thermal printer problems and their possible causes. Your Sato thermal printer was a big purchase, so we advise that you call in a certified tech for any repairs it needs.

• Fading and smudging - Smudging and fading prints are often due to incorrect heat settings. If the heat setting is too high, the labels may be smudged or printed too heavily. If the heat setting is too low, the prints may be faded or too light.
• Thin lines from top to bottom of labels - Over time, the elements in the printer’s printhead will burn out. A faulty printhead will cause thin lines that run from the top to the bottom of your labels.
• Streaks in labels - Diagonal streaks on your labels can result from a crease in the ribbon. The ribbon on your thermal printer can become creased if it is loaded incorrectly or when the tension isn’t right. You may be able to resolve this by reloading the ribbon.
• Poor print quality - Using low-quality labels or ribbons can produce low-quality prints. For best results, always use the manufacturer’s recommended supplies.
