If the LINE key is held pressed for more than two seconds, it will automatically go into the fast scroll mode. The reading will advance to a setting of 49 mm after which it will automatically wrap and start at “00” again. The Pitch Direction set in the previous step will be displayed in front of the Offset setting.

4.Once the setting is correct, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and advance to the Cancel Print Job display.

5.You may wish to check your settings by printing a test label after you have completed the adjustments to ensure that they are correct. See page 2-37 for instructions on how to print a test label.

Cancel Print Job

If the printer has a print job(s) loaded in memory, selecting YES will cause the job(s) to be cleared. The default selection is NO. Make sure that you want to cancel the print job before selecting YES as the job cannot be recovered and will have to be retransmitted to the printer.

1.Use the LINE key to step the underline cursor to either the YES or NO selection.

2.Once the correct setting is underlined, pressing the FEED key will accept the setting and terminate the User Mode of operation and return you to the Normal Mode OFF LINE display.

If you wish to change any of the settings, you must enter the User Mode again by simultaneously pressing FEED and LINE keys for more than one second.
