Introduction
Power
Power
The first time the printer is turned on choose a language in which to display screen items. (For more
information, see “Language” on page 27.)
Whenever the printer is powered on, the system performs an initialization process. Part of this process
is recognizing the label supply installed. While it is possible to power on the printer without installing
labels, if you choose not to install any, the printer reverts to the last label supply installed in the printer.
When the printer detects a time of inactivity, it automatically shuts down to preserve battery life. Any
data on the screen at the time of auto shutdown is retained and available the next time the Power
button is pressed to restart the printer. When using the AC adapter, power is constant so there is no
drain on the battery. In this case, auto shutdown will not activate. See “Config (Printer Configuration)”
on page 26 for information on setting the shut off delay time.
Display Screen
The display screen enables you to view font attributes and other formatting features directly on the
screen while you are entering and editing data. It displays one label, or one area on a multi-area label,
at a time. For labels with multiple areas, use “Print Preview” on page 65 to view all areas together.
