3.6 Printing a Configuration Label
Before beginning, load the printer with 4” wide media or configure
the Label Width Adjustment in the Advanced Setup Menu to meet
your label width, (for thermal transfer, also use a matching ribbon.
For direct thermal labels, be sure that “Direct” has been selected in
the "Print Method"). See Section 4 for more setup information. To
print a Configuration Label:
n Turn the printer ‘Off”.
o Press and hold the ‘Feed’ button while turning the printer
‘On’.
p Release the ‘Feed’ button after the printer display reads
‘DYNAMIC RAM DIAGNOSTICS’...
After a brief period, the labels will be printed. (If the labels are not
printed, see Section 7). Referring to Figure 3-11, the Configuration
Label contains two types of information. The first type is printer
setup data. The second is a pattern, testing the print circuitry. In
addition, a special connector can be used to test communications,
see Section 4 on Serial Loopback for more details.
; Note: After running the Configuration Label, the printer will enter
Character Dump Mode and must be reset in order to run a
label application. To reset, power the printer ‘Off’ and then
‘On’. For Character Dump Mode information see Section 7.
