Testmode and three of the front LEDs start flashing one at a
time. The display window lights up, and the printer runs a
media setup routine.
As long as you keep the Print button pressed, the printer
cycles through the selectable media types (Gap/Mark/
Continuous).
4 Select your media type by releasing the Print button at the
appropriate time.
The printer automatically performs a sensor calibration
(Testfeed) based on your selection, and selects thermal
transfer printing if ribbon is installed, otherwise direct
thermal is selected as default.
The printer prints several test labels containing the printer’s
setup parameters. To skip test labels, tap the Print button.
