Performing Calibration and a Configuration 
Report 
1. Make sure the media is properly loaded and the top cover of
the printer is closed.
2. Turn off the printer power. 
3. Press and hold the FEED button while turning on the power, 
until the printing motor is activated.
4. Media Calibration will be performed while the printer
automatically feeds the label stock for a certain length; then the 
printer motor suspends for one second and then prints out 
configuration/ self-test labels. Release the FEED button as 
soon as printer starts to print
.
5. The profile includes firmware version, ROM checksum,
RS-232, thermal transfer/direct thermal settings, hardware 
configuration, and font types. 
6. At PPLB emulation, the printer enters character dump mode. 
 To exit from dump mode, press the feed button again. (If you 
 accidentally print the label without exiting from dump mode in 
advance, you need to turn on the printer or press feed button 
again to print normally.) 
S
Important!
You must always carry out calibration when
changing media. Failure to do so will result in improper detection 
by the label sensor.
