4.4 Self-test mode
To go to the self-test mode, hold the Feed button while switching the printer on.
If you hold the Feed button for longer than 4 seconds while switching the printer on, the printer adjusts the
setting to continuous tape and produces a printout of the self-test. Hold the Feed button for less than 4 seconds
when using die-cut material. The printer prints at least two self-test pages.
F
Carry out the self-test with continuous material 100 mm wide so that the label layout can be
printed on it completely.
The printer has to be switched off and on again to go to the normal operating mode.
4.5 Hex dump mode
To go to the hex dump mode, hold the Stop button while switching the printer on. If you hold the Feed button for
longer than 4 seconds while switching the printer on, the printer adjusts the setting to continuous tape and
produces a printout of the self-test. Hold the Feed button for less than 4 seconds when using die-cut material.
All received commands and data are not interpreted by the printer but printed as text.

4.6 Adjusting the printing method
Prerequisite:
the printer is switched on and ready.
Press and hold the Mode/Repeat button and then press the Pause button at the same time and release both
buttons together. This changes the printing method between thermo direct and thermotransfer printing.
Thermotransfer printing:
after pressing the two buttons as described above, the buzzer sounds
once
and the Condition LED flashes twice.
Thermo direct printing:
after pressing the two buttons as described above, the buzzer sounds
twice
and the Condition LED flashes twice.
4.7 Sensor setting
To go to the sensor mode, hold the Pause, Feed and Stop buttons while switching the printer on. The Power,
Print and Condition LEDs light up.
Changing the sensor mode:
•
Sensor process transparent/transmitted light:
Hold the Mode/Repeat button and press the Stop button at the same time. Release both buttons
together. The Print LED flashes briefly and the buzzer sounds once.
•
Sensor process reflective/marked:
Hold the Mode/Repeat button and press the Stop button at the same time. Release both buttons
together. The Print LED flashes briefly and the buzzer sounds once.
Calibrating the transparent sensor:
•
Place the die-cut material in the printer and compare the upper and lower sensor. The white arrow at
the upper sensor must be adjusted to the white marking at the lower sensor (see Fig. 4-3). Pull the label
away from the backing paper at the point where the transmitted light sensor is. Close the print head and
start the calibration route by holding the Mode/Repeat button and pressing the Pause button at the
same time. Release both buttons together. The Condition LED flashes quickly during calibration. After
calibration has been successful, the Print and Condition LEDs light up. If the Error LED flashes, then
calibration was not successful.
F
The transparent sensor process must be activated.
Press the Stop button to leave the sensor setting mode.
