Is the light solid or blinking?
Red (solid) Error mode
Red (blinking) Media jam, overheated printhead or stepper
motor
According to page 54 of the PF8t/PF8d Manual (pg 66 in the PDF), these are possible issues:

• There may be a problem with the label gap sensor. Perform an auto adjust in Autosensing mode. For help, see the ESim for the PC4, PF8,
PD41, and PD42 Printer Programmer’s Reference Manual.
• There may be a media jam. Open the printer and check for stuck labels or ripped perforations.
• There may be a problem with the printer firmware. Upgrade your firmware. For help, see “Upgrading the Firmware” on page 48.

As it involves 2 new printers, the first of these is the most likely cause.
