11.Press the PAUSE key to place the printer Online.

12.Press the FEED key. A label should advance to the peel-off position under the label taken sensor gate and “LABEL PRESENT Remove Label” should be displayed.

NOTE: While printing a print job, do not press the FEED key with the ‘LABEL PRESENT Remove Label’ message displayed or the message will be removed until the PAUSE key is pressed. Also, each pressing of the FEED key will cause a blank label to be added at the end of the print job.

13. Remove the label. “ONLINE” should then be displayed.

NOTE: A problem where labels drop back down onto the liner before they can be manually removed can occur, causing the label taken sensor to falsely sense the label was removed. Labels of 1.0 to 1.5 inches long are more likely to demonstrate this condition.

This problem can be resolved by decreasing Print Speed or Setting Paper Feed Shift (under the PRINTER CONTROL menu) from 0.00 inches to a negative (-) 0.07 to 0.10 inch value to retract the label back slightly keeping it in the horizontal position under the sensor.
