Run the Print Wizard and Print a Test Label

The Print Wizard configures the printer, prints test labels, and adjusts print quality based on

the results of the test labels.

After you have completed the printer setup procedures and run the printer setup wizard, use

this section to print a test label. Printing this label allows you to see if your connection is

working and if you need to adjust any of the print settings.

To print a test label and adjust the printer (if necessary), complete these steps:

1. On the Home screen, touch Wizards > Print > Start Print.

2. Follow the prompts to specify the following information:

• print type (Thermal Transfer or Direct Thermal)

• label type (Continuous, Gap/Notch, or Mark)

• label width

• collection method (tear off, peel-off, rewind, cutter, delayed cut, linerless peel,

linerless rewind, linerless tear, or applicator)

After you have specified these, the wizard instructs you to load media and then to place a

label over the media sensor.

3. Load media so that a label is over the green light from the media sensor, and then touch

the check mark.

4. At the prompt, close the printhead, and then touch the next check mark.

The printer calibrates and then asks if you would like to print a test label.

5. Follow the prompts until the printer completes auto calibration.

Important • When using the Wizards, do not send data to the printer from the host.

For best results, use full-width media running the Print Wuzard or Set All Wizard. If the

media is smaller than an image to be printed, the results may be truncated or print across

multiple labels.
