Question Answer Explanation

I have a LabelDirect label or picture file which cannot be deleted or moved.  What do I do? Reboot Windows. At some stage the unmovable file probably formed part of a link between a picture file and a label file.  Windows mistakenly thinks the file is still linked and is therefore protecting it from deletion.
I am using LabelDirect.  When I design a label I often get the message ‘Warning: One or more label elements extend outside the label…’ yet the label prints fine.  Does this matter? No.  You can ignore this message. Sometimes, while the frame of a label element falls outside the label boundary, the content of the element does not.  This is quite acceptable.
The lid on my 342 printer will not shut.  The ribbon spindles jam. The [tippy title="ribbon spindles"]ribbon-spindles[/tippy] are fitted the wrong way around.  The flanges should be on the right-hand side.
Why is my printer making a noise like a spring pinging back and forth while printing? Sometimes the anti-static contact spring is unusually noisy but this causes no harm.
