3-1. FEED button

When you press the FEED button, the printer moves the label to the defined stop

position. If you are using continuous labels, pressing the FEED button will move label

stock until you release the button again. If you are using individual labels, pressing the

FEED button will move only one label. If the label does not stop at the correct position,

you need to run the auto-detection function on the label stock (see Section 3-3).

3-2. LED status

Press the FEED button and keep it pressed, then switch on the printer. You will hear two

beeps and the LED lights up red. Release the FEED button. The printer will now

automatically measure the label size (see Section 4-3.) and then print a test page (see

Section 4-4.)

3-3. Label size calibration

The printer can automatically detect and store label height.

That means the host computer does not need to transmit the label height to the printer.

1. Check that the label sensor is positioned correctly.

2. Check that the label stock is loaded correctly.

3. Switch off the printer.

4. Switch on the printer, keeping the FEED button pressed. When the LED starts to flash

red, release the FEED button. The printer will now measure the label stock and store

the label height.

5. Once the printer has successfully measured the label stock, it will print a self-test

label.
