3-1. FEED Key 

After pressing the FEED key, printer will feed the media (according to media type) to the 
specified stop position. When printing with continuous media, pressing the FEED key will feed 
the media out to a certain length. When printing with labels, the printer will feed one label each 
time the FEED key is pressed. If the label is not sent out in a correct position, please proceed 
with the Auto Sensing (see next section).

Press and hold the FEED key then power on the printer. Wait for the LED light flashing red and 
then release the FEED key, the printer will enter into Auto Sensing Mode to do the calibration. A 
Self-Test page will be printed out automatically after the calibration is completed. Below are the

Auto Sensing Mode 

Printers are currently in Auto 
Sensing Mode. The calibration will

configurations of printer. For more 
detail about Auto Sensing Mode, 
please refer to next section. For the 
descriptions of Self-Test page

3-3. Auto Sensing 

Printer can automatically detect the label and store the result of detecting. By doing this, the 
printer will calibrate the printing position of the label and the user can do printing without setting 
the label length. To perform the Auto Sensing, please do as follows: 
 
1. 

Check if the label is correctly loaded on the printer. 

2. 

Power off the printer, press and hold the FEED key. 

3. 

Power on the printer while still holding the FEED key. Keep holding the FEED key, wait for 
the LED light turn to flash red and then release the FEED key. Printer will automatically 
detect the label and record it. 

4. 

A Self-Test page will be printed out after Auto Sensing is completed and the printer goes 
back to standby mode.
