Self Print Mode
Performing a self test print is an easy way to check on the state of printer
settings and printing quality. Install the media as explained in “Installing the
Media” and then operate the printer as follows.
Case of label media
Turn on printer power while
pushing the FEED key. When the
LCD indicates "Self Print Mode"
and "Label Media", release the
FEED key. After it enters TEST
MODE and media has fed, two
labels print then printing stops.
To repeat printing, press the FEED
key once more.
Case of continuous media
Turn on printer power while
pushing the FEED key. When the
LCD indicates "Self Print Mode"
and "Label Media", and then
changed to "Self Print Mode" and
"Cont. Media", release the FEED
key. After it enters TEST MODE
and it prints then printing stops.
To repeat printing, press the FEED
key once more.

Media Adjustments
Using the Self Test Print shown above, you can make adjustments to the
printer settings such as media width and media thickness (printhead pressure).
For more details of the adjustment, refer to " Chapter 3 Printer Adjustments."
The first sample, left, shows an incorrectly set “media
thickness adjustment”. For standard label media,
the media thickness adjustment indicator should be
set to the center scale in the window.
The second sample, left, shows an incorrectly set
“media width adjustment”. For 4-inch or 100mm
wide media, the adjuster should be set to the scale
of 100 mm in the window.
The settings shown above are for general label media
and may not apply to specialist media.
