Check that the printer and your terminal or PC have a working
communication by typing the following instruction on the host:
( = carriage return)
BEEP
The printer should respond by returning ok to the host screen
and emit a short beep. If not, check the communication setup of
the printer and the host.
The next two steps demonstrate the printer's ability both to feed out
the media and to pull it back. Type:
FORMFEED 300
The printer will feed out a short piece of the label. Then order the
printer to pull back the label to its original position by typing:
FORMFEED -300
After loading a new supply of label stock, the printer should always
be allowed to adjust itself according to the size and characteristics
of the lanel and liner. Type:

media feed mechanism.
