4-4. Auto Sensing
Printer can automatically detect label (black mark paper) length and record it. By doing this, the
printer can accurately detect the label (black mark) positions without setting the print length.
1.
Check if the Label Sensor is located at the right sensing position.
2.
Power off the printer, press and hold the FEED key.
3.
Power on the printer (while still holding the FEED key) and the printer will beep 3 times.
Keep holding the FEED key, wait for the STATUS light turn orange and READY light flash
orange, then release the FEED key. Printer will automatically detect the label size/length
and record it.
Printer goes back to standby mode after performing the measurement.
4-5. Dump Mode
When label setting and the print result don't match for each other, it is recommended to go into
the Dump Mode to check whether there's any mistake in data transmission between the printer
and the PC. For example, when printer receives 8 commands, yet without processing these
commands, only printing out the contents of commands, this will confirm whether the commands
were received correctly. Test procedures to enter the Dump Mode are as follows:
1.
Power off the printer, press and hold the FEED key.
2.
Power on the printer (while still holding the FEED key).
3.
Keep holding the FEED key, wait for the STATUS light turn orange and READY light flash
green, then release the FEED key. Printer will automatically print "DUMP MODE BEGIN."
This indicates the printer is already in Dump Mode.
4.
Send commands to the printer, and check if the printout matches the sent commands.
To cancel (get out of the Dump Mode), press the FEED key, the printer will automatically print
out "OUT OF DUMP MODE". This indicates that printer is back in the standby mode. Powering
off the printer is another way to exit the Dump Mode.
4-6. Direct Thermal / Thermal Transfer Mode Switch
1.
Power off the printer, press and hold the FEED key.
2.
Power on the printer (while still holding the FEED key) and the printer will beep 3 times.
Keep holding the FEED key, wait for the STATUS light turn red and READY light flash red,
then release the FEED key. The printer will go into Direct Thermal (DT) Mode and
automatically print "NOW IS DIRECT THERMAL (DT MODE)". This indicates that printer is
currently in DT Mode.
3.
Power on the printer (while still holding the FEED key) and the printer will beep 3 times.
Keep holding the FEED key, wait for the STATUS light turn red and READY light flash
orange, then release the FEED key. The printer will go into the Thermal Transfer (TT) Mode
and automatically print "NOW IS THERMAL TRANSFER (TT MODE)". This indicates that
printer is currently in TT Mode.
NOW IS THERMAL TRANSFER ( TT MODE)
NOW IS DIRECT THERMAL (DT MODE)
