With the printer power off, press and hold the Feed key while you turn the power on. The
printer prints out a listing of its current configuration (configuration label). See Figure 7 on
page 22. For best results, use media that is at least 4” wide by 4” long. After printing the
label, the printer will automatically enter a diagnostic mode in which the printer prints out a
literal representation of all data subsequently received (hex dump mode). To exit this mode,
turn the printer power off.
With the printer power on, printhead closed, and Power light on, press and hold the Feed key
for several seconds and the Power Light will flash the following number of times in sequence.
