This calibration procedure should be performed the first time you use the

printer and any time you change the type of media in the printer.

1. Turn the printer power on if it is not already on.

2. Remove several labels from a section of backing material so that only

the backing material is under the printhead mechanism and media sen-

sor.

3. Press and hold the Feed Key until the Power light flashes twice in a row.

(First it will flash once, then twice in a row at which point you release

the key.)

4. The printer will adjust the media sensor level for the media backing you

are using. After it is done making this adjustment, the Power light will

flash rapidly.

5. Reload the media so that a label is under the printhead.

6. Press and release the Feed Key. A profile of the media sensor settings

will print. See Figure 6. When complete, the printer will save the new

settings in memory and the printer is ready for normal operation.

If you are using the printer’s serial port to transfer data, you will need to

make sure that the printer and the computer have identical communication

parameter settings. To initialize the communication parameters for the

printer:

• Press and hold the Feed key until the Power light blinks three (3) times

in a row. Release the key. The baud rate for the printer will be reset to
