There are six power-on utilities to set up and test printer hardware. These utilities
are activated by pressing FEED button and by turning on the printer power
simultaneously. The utilities are listed as below:
1. Ribbon sensor calibration and Gap or black mark sensor calibration
2. Gap/black mark sensor calibration；Self-test and dump mode
3. Printer initialization
4. Set black mark sensor as media sensor and calibrate the black mark sensor

4.1 Ribbon and Gap/Black Mark Sensor Calibration
Gap/black mark sensor sensitivity should be calibrated at the following conditions:
1. A brand new printer
2. Change label stock.
3. Printer initialization.
Please follow the steps below to calibrate the ribbon and gap/black mark sensor.
1. Turn off the power switch.
2. Hold on the button then turn on the power switch.
3 Release the button when LED becomes red and blinking. (Any red will do during
the 5 blinks).
It will calibrate the ribbon sensor and gap/black mark sensor sensitivity.
The LED color will be changed as following order：
Amber Æ red (5 blinks) Æ amber (5 blinks) Æ green (5 blinks) Æ
green/amber (5 blinks) Æ red/amber (5 blinks) Æ solid green
Note:
Please select gap or black mark sensor by sending GAP or BLINE command
to printer prior to calibrate the sensor.
For more information about GAP and BLINE command, please refer to TSPL2
programming manual.
4.2 Gap/Black Mark Calibration, Self-test and Dump Mode
While calibrate the gap/black mark sensor, printer will measure the label length,
print the internal configuration (self-test) on label and then enter the dump mode. To
