G. Reset the printer by pressing and holding the CANCEL Key for approximately four seconds.
H. After the resetting, verify operation by printing a Configuration Label. The new font selection

An error has occurred if the menu displays the new language selection, but all the messages

Support (be prepared to provide the Common.xls and DPL download files created). Other
