The printer must set media parameters for optimal operation before printing. To achieve this, it automatically determines the media type (web/gap, black mark/notch, or continuous) and measures media characteristics.
After the initial calibration to a specific media is complete, additional calibrations are not necessary when loading a new batch as long as the newly loaded media is of the same type as the previous media. The printer will automatically measure the new batch and adjust for any small changes in its characteristics during printing.
After loading a roll of new media from the same batch, press the
FEED
(Advance button) once or twice to synchronize the labels. This prepares the printer to continue printing with 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 once. Continue to hold the
FEED
button until it flashes 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.
