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.

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-01Check that the label stock is loaded correctly.

STEP-02Switch off the printer.

STEP-03Switch 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-04Once the printer has successfully measured the label stock, it will print a self-test label.
