Buttons

The operation of the buttons consists of long or short presses depending on the
operation being performed. A button pressed for three (3) or more seconds is considered
a long press. A button pressed for less than three (3) seconds is considered a short
press.

The Stop/Resume button is positioned on the left side of the printer’s control panel and
the Feed/Cancel button is positioned on the right side. Together with the reset button on
the back of the printer, these buttons enable certain printer functions.

Note:

Refer to the Operation section of this guide for more information about the

operational functionality of the buttons.

Feed

To set the top-of-form, select the Feed/Cancel (right) button once the media has been
installed.

Test Labels

To print a test label from the printer, select the Stop/Resume button and the Feed/Cancel
button together with a short press. A quality label will print. This function can also be
performed with the configuration utility.

Calibration

The printer uses upper and lower top-of-form sensors to determine top-of-form. Both
sensors are transmissive and reflective to ensure top-of-form for qualified media. There
are two (2) types of calibrations:

Paper Calibration

Sensor Calibration

Paper Calibration

The printer should be calibrated after a new type of media has been installed or to verify
a paper out warning. When loading the same type of media, calibration should not be
necessary unless the printer does not find top-of-form.

1. Install the paper into the printer.

2. Close and latch the printer cover.

3. Select the Stop/Resume button and the Feed/Cancel button together with long

presses until the paper begins to move.

Note:

The media will advance through the printer verifying the top-of-form.
