Print a Test Label with the Touchscreen Printer
The first time you turn on the touchscreen printer or reset to factory defaults, the
printer runs a startup wizard to let you enter basic setup information. After the
startup wizard finishes, the printer enters Ready mode where you can access the
Main Menu and print a test label.
1. Connect the printer to power and turn on the printer.
2. After the startup sequence finishes, the startup wizard begins. Enter all the
information on the wizard screens then tap No when prompted to run other
wizards.
3. From the Ready screen, press to view the Main Menu.
4. From the Main Menu, tap Tools > Test Labels.
5. Select the test label you want to print and tap it.
Your test label prints. If print quality is low, go to Wizards > Printing > Print Quality.
Note: You can use command languages, like Direct Protocol, and language simulators, like
ZSim, to create and print labels. For more information, see the command reference
manual for your desired language.
