This chapter of the user’s guide is so important that we’ve printed it on a different
color paper! That way, it will be easy for you to find when you must calibrate (set
up) the printer for your particular application.
Purpose
� To calibrate the printer.
� To verify that the printer is properly set up by printing a test label.
NOTE: This procedure must be performed when the printer is first
installed or when it cannot properly detect the top of the label.
To calibrate the printer, you must do the following (all of the instructions are
contained in this chapter):
� Determine the type of media (labels) being used.
�
Choose the print method.
�
Position the media sensor (if necessary).
� Configure the printer and software or driver based on the label being used.
� Print a test label.

Calibrating the Printer
Choosing the Print Mode
� Tear-off mode allows you to tear off each label, or a strip of labels, after it is
printed.
�
In peel-off mode, backing material is peeled away from the label as it is printed.
After this label is removed from the printer, the next one is printed.
� When in cutter mode, the printer automatically cuts the label after it is printed.
�
In rewind mode, the media and/or backing are rewound onto a core as the labels
are printed.
