Basic Configuration
If your labels are not printing correctly, the configuration may need to be changed
because the printer defaults may not reflect the options you need. Media, ribbon,
darkness, print mode, media type, sensor type, and print method all affect the way the
printer is configured. Refer to Configuration on page 58 for more detailed
information.
Review the Front Panel illustration on page 3 to familiarize yourself with the controls.
The table below shows the LCD display settings you will need and what they mean.
