If you are not using ribbon, ensure both the printer, software, and driver are configured for Direct Thermal.

Proper loading and configuration of the printer, driver, and software are required to avoid ribbon errors. For Direct Thermal applications (where the ribbon is not required), the sensor will warn if the ribbon is detected by displaying a Ribbon In a warning on the LCD (or yellow flashing supplies light). A clear ribbon trailer allows the light to reach the reflector plate, or the ribbon has a reflective chrome trailer that acts as a light reflector for the ribbon sensor. The ribbon sensor is used in Thermal Transfer applications to see the state of the ribbon and will provide a Ribbon Out condition when the ribbon reaches the end of the roll or is not installed.
The printer uses a combination of an optical sensor and reflector plate (the silver plate under the print mech you load the labels under) to detect the ribbon as it blocks the ribbon sensor light path. Printhead pressure moves the ribbon keeping it synchronized with the labels, and the Ribbon Take-up spindle removes the ribbon from the labels and rewinds the spent ribbon. Back tension is applied from the Ribbon Supply spindle to help prevent wrinkle and take up slack during a back feed operation. The printhead pressure at the print line controls the actual movement of the ribbon. Two spindles, Ribbon Supply and Ribbon Take-up, guide the ribbon during printing. NOTE There is a reverse-wound spindle available for the ZT410 P/N 79830M. On Zebra printers, the ink is on the outside of the ribbon roll (see note), and this is the surface that should be facing the labels, so ink transfer is accomplished. This protects for the printhead to prevent wear. The width of the roll varies based on the width of the labels and should always be slightly wider. The ribbon used in the printer consists of wax or resin-based ink on a plastic film called the carrier that is rolled onto a cardboard core. Refer to the article Identify Type of Media.
For non-ribbon applications, a heat-sensitive label referred to as a Direct Thermal label must be used. Thermal Transfer is used when the ribbon is required , while Direct Thermal refers to applications that do not use ribbon. Printing can be done with and without ribbon, and the printer (driver or software) must be configured appropriately. Once this read functionality is confirmed, you should be able to successfully print and encode your tags with the Zebra ZT410 RFID printer.The printer can be used for a wide variety of printing applications. To verify that the settings are correct, navigate to RFID -> Read RFID Data and select "Read" to ensure that each tag responds with its EPC as it is fed through the printer. Detailed steps can be seen in the video Setting Up Your Zebra ZT410 Printer. Next, you will need to initiate an RFID calibration by navigating to the RFID option on the printer's home menu.

If your tags are not feeding out one at a time, you will need to perform a full media calibration. Once these settings have been adjusted, you should be able to feed one tag at a time when the print head is closed and the feed button is pressed on the printer. Typically, this sensor will need to be placed so that it will pass under the part of the tag with the most surface area (for the Gap sensor), or the part of the tag with the black mark (for the Mark sensor). Please see the video in Setting Up Your Zebra ZT410 Printer for more information on where to place the red laser sensor for your particular tag. These settings can be adjusted in the Settings -> Media Type settings menu. If your tags have both a gap and a mark, either setting can be used. If your tags are separated by a either a gap or notch in the print media, set the printer settings to use the "Gap Sensor" settings. If your tags have a black mark or line on the underside of the print media, you will need to change the printer settings to use the "Mark Sensor". To do this, you will need to determine if your tags require the "Mark Sensor", or the "Gap Sensor". First, verify that the printer is "seeing" the tags correctly. If you are having trouble printing your tags, there are a few steps you can take to try and resolve any errors you may be seeing.
