Printing a Test Label
An easy way to check that the printer is working and find out how it is
presently set up is to print a test label. The test label can also be used to
check the printout quality.
• Switch off the power to the printer.
• For best result, load the printer with full width labels or tags and
transfer ribbon as described in Chapter 4.
• Hold down the Feed key and turn on the power again.
• Release the Feed key within 3 seconds.
• The printer emits a beep and “Self test” is shown in the display, if any.
• A single test label is printed.
• After the test label has been printed, the printer automatically enters
the Direct Mode.
