Printer Test

Print Self-Test Page

When the printer is initially installed or there are any problems with the printer, you can run self-test program to confirm the following status: firmware version, printer parameter setting status, print quality, and related setting information of external devices, etc. After confirming that there is no problem with the printer after the self-test, please check other devices or software. This function runs independently of other devices or software.

The self-test method is as follows:

1. Confirm that the printer is connected to power supply and the paper roll is loaded correctly.
2. Confirm that the printer is turned off and the side cover is closed in place.
3. Press and hold the FEED button, then press the POWER button to turn on the printer; release the button after the printer is turned on.

Print with the Window Driver

Label Learning

Note: In the following cases, the user can perform label positioning learning so that the printer can better position the label:

• Install and use the printer for the first time.
• First use of printer after sensor cleaning.
• Reuse the printer after it is not used for a long time.
• Replace with a new type of paper roll.
• The printer cannot recognize the mark effectively during printing.

When the printer is ready, press and hold the FEED button for 3s until the standby status indicator flashes twice, release the button, and the printer will start learning and feed paper. If the printer learns under continuous paper mode, the learning is invalid.

Users can also complete the learning through the printer tool software.
(refer to “Instruction for Printer Setting Tool”.)

Note: After learning, you can re-open the top cover and place the blank label paper just fed during learning back for printing to avoid paper waste.
