Printers

The Printers page lists every printer you added, with its live state. Open one to see its queue, the loaded material and its settings.

For PT-Series and QL-Series printers the hub reads the loaded tape or label roll from the printer itself. A label is laid out for what is loaded; you do not configure the tape width anywhere. When the printer reports that it is running low or empty, the overview says so before the next job fails.

State Meaning What to do
Ready The printer answers and can print Nothing
Printing A job is on its way Wait; the job page shows progress
Cover open, no tape, offline The printer reported a problem Fix it at the printer, then resume the printer’s queue
Paused Someone paused the queue Resume it on the printer page

When the printer reports a recoverable problem in the middle of the queue, the queue stops instead of throwing jobs away. After you fixed it, resume the printer: in the web UI on the printer page, or with POST /api/v1/printer/resume.

A disabled printer takes no jobs: a print to it is refused with printer_disabled.
