Print a Printer Configuration Label

Print a Printer Configuration Label

When you have loaded the media and ribbon (if necessary), print a printer configuration label to use as a record of your printer settings. Keep the label for baseline information on your printer when troubleshooting printing problems.

Caution • For personal and equipment safety, always use an approved three-conductor power cord specific to the region or country intended for installation. This cord must use an IEC 320 female connector and the appropriate region-specific three-conductor grounded plug configuration.

To print a configuration label, complete these steps:

1.Connect the power cord to the power connection on the back of the printer.

2.To confirm the power connection, turn the printer On (I).
