Chapter 2 Printer Operation
Self Print Mode
Performing a self test print is an easy way to check on the state of printer
setting and printing quality. Install the media as explained in “Installing
the Media” and then operate the printer as follows.
Case of label media
Turn on printer power while
pushing the FEED key. When the
PRINT LED has begun to ash
slowly, release the FEED key.
After it enters TEST MODE and
media has fed, two labels print
then printing stops.
To restart printing, press the
FEED key once more.
Case of continuous media
Turn on printer power while
pushing the FEED key. When the
PRINT LED has stopped ashing
slowly and has begun to ash
rapidly, release the FEED key.
After it enters TEST MODE and it
prints then printing stops.
To restart printing, press the FEED key once more.
Media Adjustments
Using the Self Test Print shown above, you can make adjustments to the
printer settings such as media width and media thickness (printhead
pressure). The location of these two adjustments is explained in Chapter 3.
The rst sample, left, shows an incorrectly set
“media thickness adjustment”. For standard label
media, it is recommended you set the blue dial
to the “0” position.
The second sample, left, shows an incorrectly set
“media width adjustment”. For 4-inch or 100mm
wide media, the adjuster should be set to the “9”
position on the blue dial.
The settings shown above are for general label
media and may not apply to specialist media.
