Printing a Test (Printer Configuration) Label

Before you connect the printer to your computer, make sure that the printer hardware is in proper working order.

You can do this by printing a configuration status label.

Make sure the media is properly loaded (see Placing the Roll in the Media Compartment and Loading Media with the Cutter Option) and the top cover of the printer is closed (see Closing the Printer).

Turn printer power on if you have not already done so.

If the printer initializes with the status light blinking green (pause mode)..	Press the Feed button one time to place the printer in Ready (to print) mode.
If the printer’s status light does not turn solid green (Ready)...	See Troubleshooting.

Press the

Feed

button two to three times to allow the printer to auto-calibrate for the installed media. (see Media Sensing).

The printer may feed several labels during this process.

When the status light is solid green, press and hold the

Feed

button until the status light flashes one time, then release the button.

A configuration label will print.

If the label does not print, verify that you have followed the hardware setup instructions in Printer Setup Overview. and see Troubleshooting.)
