Preparing For Tag Printing
In tag printing, the tag hole indicates the height of a label. During adjustment, the sensor must therefore be positioned
directly below the tag hole as shown in the illustration. The tag hole should be at least 3 mm in diameter to ensure
correct functioning.

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, please run the auto calibration

Label size calibration and Self Test Page
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.
And the self-test function lets you check whether the printer is functioning normally.
Here is how you run the label size calibration and self test.
STEP-01Check that the label stock is loaded correctly.
STEP-02Switch off the printer.
STEP-03Switch the printer on again, keeping the FEED button pressed. When the READY LED starts to flash
red and the STATUS LED lights up orange, release the FEED button. The printer will now measure
the label stock and store the label height.
STEP-04Once the printer has successfully measured the label stock, it will print a self-test label.
