The printer must set media parameters for optimal operation prior to printing. To do this, it automatically determines the media type (web/gap, black mark/notch, or continuous) and the measure media characteristics.
After initial calibration to a specific media is complete, additional calibrations are not necessary after you load a new batch as long as the newly-loaded media is of the same type as the prior media. The printer will automatically measure the new batch and adjust for any small changes in its characteristics when printing.
After you load a roll of new media from the same batch, press the
FEED
(Advance) once or twice to synchronize the labels. This readies the printer to continue printing using the new batch of media.
Make sure the media is loaded properly in the printer and the top cover of the printer is closed.
Press the
POWER
button to turn the printer on and wait until the printer is in the Ready state (the STATUS Indicator lights up solid green).
Press and hold the
FEED
button for two seconds, until the STATUS Indicator flashes one time. Continue to hold the
FEED
button until it has flashed two more times, then immediately release the button.
The printer will measure a few labels and adjust media sensing levels. When it has completed measuring, the STATUS indicator will turn solid green.
