Chapter 2 Print a Label
Check that the printer and your terminal/PC have a working com-
munication by typing the following instruction on the host:
BEEP
↵
(
↵
= carriage return)
The printer should respond by returning Ok to the screen of the host
and at the same time emit a short beep. If not, check the communi-
cation setup of the printer and the host.
The next two steps are included to demonstrate the printer's ability
both to feed out the paper and to pull it back. Type:
FORMFEED 300
↵
The printer will feed out a short piece of the label. Then order the
printer to pull back the label to its original position by typing:
FORMFEED -300
↵
After loading a new supply of labels, the printer should be allowed
to adjust itself. Type:
TESTFEED
↵
The printer will feed out at least two labels while adjusting its sen-
sors and paper feed mechanism. You can also perform a testfeed
operation by simultaneously pressing the <Shift> and <Feed> keys
on the printer's keyboard.
Tear off the labels by grabbing the outer (right) edge and pulling
downwards.
Now you are ready to start programming your first label.
