Print Engine Configuration
Overview
Overview
After you have installed the media and ribbon and the Power-On Self Test (POST) is complete,
the front panel displays
PRINTER READY. You may now set print engine parameters for
your application using the front panel display and the buttons directly below it. If it becomes
necessary to restore the initial print engine defaults, see PAU S E S e l f Te s t on page 112 and
FEED Self Test on page 113.

1. Press SETUP/EXIT to enter Setup mode.

Exit Setup Mode
To leave Setup mode, complete these steps:
1. Press SETUP/EXIT.
The LCD displays SAVE CHANGES.
2. Press the left or right oval to display the save options (Table 5).
Important • Certain printing conditions may require that you adjust printing parameters, such
as print speed, darkness, or print mode. These conditions include (but are not limited to):
• printing at high speeds
• peeling the media
• the use of extremely thin, small, synthetic, or coated labels
Because these and other factors affect print quality, run tests to determine the best combination
of print engine settings and media for your application. A poor match may limit print quality
or print rate, or the print engine may not function properly in the desired print mode.
Table 5 • Save Options When Leaving Setup Mode
LCD Description
PERMANENT
Stores values in the print engine even when power is turned
off.
TEMPORARY
Saves the changes until power is turned off.
CANCEL
Cancels all changes made since you entered Setup mode,
except for changes made to the darkness and tear-off settings,
which go into effect as soon as they are made.
LOAD DEFAULTS

to the factory defaults.
Note • Loading factory defaults causes the print engine to
auto-calibrate.
