Why is my M511 printing blank labels?

Turn off the printer. Open the media cover and remove the ribbon. Use a Brady print head cleaning pen or isopropyl alcohol on a lint-free swab. Gently wipe the print head in one direction. Allow to dry before use.

Delete unused label formats from memory. Go to the memory management menu and remove old files. You can also transfer labels to a computer via USB to free up space.
