 (Advance) button (for more information, see FEED (Advance) Button)
The
Power

 button—individually or in combination, and along with information shown by the STATUS indicator—are designed to help you perform a range of routine printer tasks which include:
  • Calibrating the media (labels, paper, tags, etc.)
  • Printing a configuration report
  • Resetting printer settings to their defaults
  • Entering 'Forced' firmware download mode
  • Entering and exiting diagnostic (
    DUMP
    ) mode to debug printer programming and communications
This button is modal—what happens when you press the buttons depends on what the printer is doing at the time.

Status indicator (tricolor, encircles the

The color can be:
