If you have having ribbon breakage when printing with your Persona C30, Fargo DTC300 or Fargo DTC400 series machine, the first thing you need to do is calibrate the ribbon sensor.
The next step would be to clean the printer with a printer cleaning kit made for your printer.
Then, power off the printer by unplugging the small back power wire on the back of the printer. Plug it back in after a few seconds. This allows the printer to reset and adjust the ribbon to the correct color panel.
If you are still having problems, there could be an issue with the drive o rings or pulleys. This problem requires an internal repair of the printer by a technician trained in Fargo printer repair.
Some of the earlier models of these printers may have had an issue with the drive o rings. They tend to stretch after a period of time and can cause printing issues or ribbon breakage.
