1.Make sure that printer power is off.

2.Press and hold the feed button.

3.Turn printer power on.

4.When the status light blinks, release the feed button.

5.The printer advances the media to measure and verify the length of individual labels or tags. The printer then prints a status summary and remains in diagnostic dump mode.

6.To begin normal operation, tap the feed button. The printer prints "out of DUMP" and advances a label.

If the status light remains amber or red or you cannot get this printout, refer to Troubleshooting on page 35.
