RED FLASHING LED on QL-800

xDsquare commented 5 years ago

Whenever I try to print at the correct format (29mm endless) the LED starts flashing red and nothing happens while the web-interface says "Printing was successful".

Any update on this anyone? I'm having troubles with QL-800 as well.

I am using a QL-800 and it works for me

It's been a long time. Sorry!

I've improved the compatibility of brother_ql_web with the QL-800 series a lot with the commits 2b5902a and 6da0745. Please check again. If any problem persists, could you please report:

output of brother_ql info env
which exact label roll type is in the printer
which label roll type did you select in the web GUI or on the command line

I'll close this issue for now but if you have any further problem with the QL-800 series / red flashing LEDs, feel free to reopen this issue or open a new issue with the information requested above.

Ok, so in case it's unclear for some: You have to select "62mm endless (Black/Red/White)".

By the way, how does it work? I thought the black color would appear because of heat, but how does it distinguish between black and red?

Short exposure: Red Long exposure: Black (Or more purpleishe colour)

One more note for everyone else playing with the default labels, the small roll that usually comes with it is a 29x90 DIE-CUT , and NOT a 29 endless (Since that just cost me 15 minutes of confusion =D) Thanks for the awesome project!!!!

Ok I can print red text if I select "62mm endless (black/red/white)". But I don't want to print in red. I just want to print normal black.
