Zebra 110Xi III Plus Warning Head Cold
Zebra 110Xi III Plus Warning Head Cold? Are you trying to send a print job to your Zebra 110Xi III+ printer but the LCD reads ‘Warning Head Cold’? This isn’t necessarily a bad thing so let’s discuss what could be some possibilities or receiving this message.
A ‘Warning Head Cold’ message is displayed on the LCD, most likely, because the printhead is just that, cold. Zebra’s Xi line is referred to as thermal barcode printers. This just means that in order to produce an image on the label, the printer utilizes a printhead that produces heat to transfer the image to the label. Printheads are sensitive electronic devices and are very sensitive to temperature. If the ambient temperature drops below a certain temperature the printhead will need time to warm up. If the ambient temperature were too cold the printhead wouldn’t have the capabilities to generate enough heat to transfer the data to the label and a blank or misprinted label would be produced.
If the printer is in a controlled environment and the LCD is still displaying the ‘Warning Head Cold’ message then another thing to check is the connectivity of the printhead cables. Open the head release lever all the way open and raise the printhead all the way back as far as it will go. Towards the bottom of the printhead are 2 separate connections. A grey cable, known as an IDE or ATA cable for communications, as well as a black and red strand of cables for power. Both of these cables need to be firmly seated into the printhead. These cables must also be seated properly to the logic board inside the electronics panel of the printer as well.
