Basic Configuration
If your labels are not printing correctly, the configuration may need to be changed because the
printer defaults may not reflect the options that you need. Media, ribbon, darkness, print mode,
media type, sensor type, and print method all affect the way the printer is configured. This
section covers how to change these basic configuration options for your printer through the
printer’s front panel. Review Figure 2 on page 3
to familiarize yourself with the front panel
controls.
Refer to Configuration and Calibration LCD Displays on page 49 for more detailed
information on all of the configuration options available on your printer.
Many printer settings may also be controlled by your printer’s driver or label preparation
software. See the driver or software documentation for more information.
