Printing Media Calibration & Configuration
Before connecting the printer to your computer, to make sure that
the printer works properly, conduct media calibration and print a
self-test/ configuration label.
Steps to Start Media Calibration & Configuration
1. Make sure the media is properly loaded and the top cover of
the printer is closed.
2. Turn off the printer power.
3. Press and hold the FEED button while turning on the power,
until printer motor is activated.
4. Media Calibration will be performed while the printer
automatically feeds the label stock for a certain length; then
the printer motor suspends for one second and then prints out
configuration/ self-test labels. Release the FEED button as
soon as printer starts to print.
Note:
If printer is with Argox PPLB printer language, printer will enter
Dump mode after printing configuration. In Dump mode, all
characters will be printed in 2 columns: the right shows characters
received from your system, and the left are the corresponding
hexadecimal values of the characters. It allows users or engineers
to verify and debug the program.
To return to normal operation mode from Dump mode, press the
FEED button again. Another way is to turn off printer power, and
then restart printer.
