 Chapter 2     Printing a Label
Check that the printer and your terminal or PC have a working 
communication by typing the following instruction on the host:
BEEP ↵  (↵ = carriage return)
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 type of label stock, the printer should always 
be allowed to adjust itself according to the size and characteristics 
of the labels and liner. Type:
TESTFEED ↵
The printer will feed out at least two labels while adjusting its 
sensors and media feed mechanism. You can also perform a testfeed 
operation by simultaneously pressing the <Shift> and <Feed> 
keys on the printer’s keyboard.
Tear off the labels by grabbing the outer (right) edge and pulling 
downwards.
Now you are ready to start programming your fi rst label.
