Setup Mode

After you have installed the media and ribbon and the Power-On Self Test (POST) is complete, the control panel displays PRINTER READY. You may now set printer parameters for your application using the control panel display and the buttons directly below it. If it becomes necessary to restore the initial printer defaults, see FEED and PAUSE Self Test on page 137.

Important • Certain printing conditions may require that you adjust printing parameters, such as print speed, darkness, or print mode. These conditions include (but are not limited to):

•printing at high speeds•peeling the media•the use of extremely thin, small, synthetic, or coated labels

Because these and other factors affect print quality, run tests to determine the best combination of printer settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit print quality or print rate, or the printer may not function properly in the desired print mode.

Enter and Use Setup Mode

Use the LCD on the control panel to view and adjust printer settings through Setup mode. When a parameter is changed, an asterisk (*) appears in the upper left corner of the display to indicate that the value is different from the one currently active in the printer.
