printer may feed three to four labels before the adjustment is
completed. If you are using peel-off media, remove the labels
as they are fed out.l

press and hold the Feed button for at least 3 seconds after the
test label prints to reset the printer to the default settings. The
LED will glow red indicating that the printer was reset to the
default settings.
Refer to the ESim Programer's Reference Manual for an illustration
and explanation of the test label.
The PrinterCompanion CD that ships with the PF8 printers
contains software programs that you can use to configure the
printer to create a wide variety of labels. These programs include:
• LabelShop (v6.12, SP5)
• InterDriver (v7.06 M5)
• ESim Config Tool (v2.1)
Refer to the software documentation on the PrinterCompanion
CD for detailed information about using these programs.
Both models of the PF8 printers can print on direct thermal
media. The PF8t also has the ability to print on thermal transfer
media such as self-adhesive labels, non-adhesive tags, or
continuous stock. When printing on thermal transfer media you
must also install a thermal transfer ribbon.
There are three ways of using media on the PF8 printers:
Tear-Off
Tear-Off (straight-through) media is fed out the front of the
printers and can be torn off by pulling it upwards against the
edge of the top cover.
