•The printer does not feed paper back to the paper-park position and then advance it to the top-of-form position between jobs even if paper is loaded when you turn on the printer.

In addition to changing the back-feed setting, also follow the instructions below when you print on labels:

•Always use labels designed for use with a tractor. Do not try to print on single-sheet labels.

•Because labels are especially sensitive to extremes of temperature and humidity, use them under normal operating conditions only.

•Make sure that your printing stays entirely within the printable area of the labels because printing on the edge of a label or on the backing sheet can damage the printer.

Note: When you want to remove labels from the printer, always tear off the fresh supply of labels at the rear of the printer as shown below and then press the LF/FF button to advance the remaining labels out of the printer. This is necessary to prevent the labels from being fed backward.

Using the default-setting mode

Your printer has internal settings that control such functions as top of-form position and page length. These settings are called default settings because they take effect each time you turn on the printer.

For most users, the factory settings are best, but you can change these settings if necessary. The table below lists all the features you can change in the default-setting mode; the next section tells you how to change them; and the section after that describes each feature in detail.

Note: Most software programs control the printer features listed here. If you can use your software program to control the printer, you may never need to use the default-setting mode. In fact, you may find that your program settings override your printer’s default settings. See your software documentation for more information.

Changing the default settings

If you do need to change any default settings, you can do as described below. You press the control panel buttons, and the control panel lights show your selections.

Follow the steps below to make your changes.

Note: You can repeat steps 6 through 8 if you want to make more than one change. Also, you can turn off the printer and start over if you are not sure about a setting.

Make sure the printer is turned off and paper is loaded in the paper cassette. If you installed the push tractor, always use continuous paper for the default-setting mode.

3.To enter the default-setting mode, hold down the FONT button while you turn on the printer.

The printer loads a sheet of paper automatically and prints the first instruction and a table that shows you which languages you can choose. You can print the default-setting mode messages in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish.

4.To choose English, press the FONT button until light 1 is off and light 2 is on; then press the LF/FF button.

To choose another language, use the table below and press the FONT button until the lights indicate your selection; then press the LF/FF button.
