Configuration

Before calibration, be sure media and ribbon (for thermal transfer printing) have

been loaded correctly. The label sensor needs to locate properly to index labels'

gaps/ notches/ holes. After the media is loaded, please perform media calibration to

calibrate the label sensor in advance. For non-LCD printers, see Indicators.

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Press and hold the PAUSE button and turn on the power.

3. When "CALIBRATION ..." is displayed on the LCD, and both READY and MEDIA

indicators blink, release the PAUSE button.

4. The printer feeds 1 or 2 blank labels.

5. When "READY" is displayed, the READY and MEDIA indicators stop blinking

but remain illuminated.

Perform a self-test and print a configuration report to check the printer's print quality

and internal settings. Follow the steps below:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Load media and ribbon.

3. Press and hold the FEED button while turning on the power.

4. When "SELF-TEST ..." is displayed on the LCD, release the FEED button.

5. The printer will now print a configuration report, as shown in the example on

the next page. All characters will be printed in 2 columns: the right shows

characters received from your system, and the left are the corresponding

hexadecimal values of the characters. It allows users or engineers to verify

and debug the program.

For non-LCD printers, see Indicators.
