Feeding Blank Labels

To feed a label you press the FEED button if there is no image in the
printer buffer. To clear the image buffer you must press and hold the
FEED button for at least 5 seconds and then release the FEED button.

Label Reprint

If the last label printed has not been cleared from the printer buffer,
pressing the FEED button causes the last printed label to be reprinted.

Sending Data to the Printer

To print labels using data sent from a host computer or terminal:
1. Connect the host and printer serial or parallel ports together using
a correctly wired interface cable (refer to the wiring information).
2. If you are using the serial port, confirm that the host and printer
are using the same communication parameters.
3. Confirm that the POWER indicator is lit and the ERROR indica-
tor is off.
4. Send your data to the printer.

Resetting the Printer

Some commands with parameters can be saved in the printer. They
are in non-volatile memory that can be kept permanently unless they
are changed by other commands with different parameters. To reset
the parameters to factory settings, follow the procedure below.
1. Install ribbon and media.
2. Turn on the printer.
3. Press and hold the FEED button for about 30 seconds until the
printer starts printing.
4. Release the button.
5. The printer will print a test label and enter hex dump mode.
6. Restart the printer for normal printing.
