Printing a Test Label

Printing a Test Label

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

You can do this by printing a configuration label.

1.Make sure the media is properly loaded and the top cover of the printer is closed. Then, turn the printer power on if you have not already done so.

2.When the status light is solid green, press and hold the feed button until the status light flashes once.

3.Release the feed button. A configuration label will print.

If you cannot get this label to print, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter.
