My labeler hasn't worked. Anytime I press print the screen directs me back to size settings. It doesn't make any sound like it's attempting to print. I've cleaned it and replaced the batteries and still nothing happens. Has anyone else experienced this and if so are there any suggestions on fixing this?

I have the same problem as Kay Friday. Always directs me back to size settings and there’s no attempt to print by the label maker. Totally disgusted with this product.
