When using a Fargo HDP5000 printer, the error code “ribbon has
miscued” may display on the LCD screen. The printer may also display an Error Code 97. The following are the steps you can take to attempt to resolve the error and resume printing.
- Open Windows’ “Devices and Printers” screen;
- Locate the HDP5000 printer, and right-click on it with your mouse;
- Select the option for “Printing Preferences”;
- Select the tab named “Card”;
- Click the link button for “ToolBox” and a new window will open;
- In the new window, select the “Calibrate Ribbon” tab, and follow the directions provided.
If the calibration finishes normally, resume printing your cards. If the calibration does not resolve the problem, or the same errors continue to occur, please contact us about your warranty or service options, as this error is also symptomatic of a ribbon sensor that has gone bad.
For a complete list of error codes for the HDP5000, access the User Guide provided by HID Global. A list of the codes that appear on the LCD screen begins on page 65 of the PDF.

Hi Kate – if I understand your problem correctly, you are submitting a print-job to the HDP5000. The printer is not at operating temperature, so you are waiting for the image-transfer process to begin, and observing the temperature indicator climb until it reaches the required 175c setting. At this point, you are receiving the error code 273. Assuming this is correct, this error means that the image transfer module suffered a fatal error during startup. Please try the following:
o Reboot the printer (power off, and disconnect from the power source. Wait 5 minutes before re-connecting to power, and wait for printer to become “Ready”);
o Try to print again and, if this resolved the issue, continue with your work;
o If the issue persists, it is most likely an issue with either the printer’s transfer arm head-lift mechanism, or the printer main logic board will need to be replaced.
If the printer is less than 3-years old, it may be covered by Fargo’s warranty. Please contact your Fargo dealer or service center for assistance. If you are located in the USA, we’d be happy to help you obtain repair services, whether under warranty or not.

I have a problem wirth the Fargo HDP5000.
When I calibrate the ribbon, I get the message calibrate failed error: 170.
If I calibrate the film and after it I calibrate the ribbon, the fargo sais calibrate passed ok but I can’t click ok. The only thing I can do is to restart the printer.
What could be the problem?
thank you
Locate the print driver in your printers folder for the HDP5000. Look for the calibration tab and follow the directions on calibrating the ribbons. This should fix the film error.
