  1. Fixing plate
  2. Paper roll
  3. Fixing plate
  4. Print side up
  5. 1" paper roll shaft

To load the labels:

  1. Mount the label roll in the paper supply kit — slide the 1" paper roll shaft through the roll core and fit the fixing plates on both sides. If the roll core is 1", remove the 1.5" core adapter from the fixing plates.
  2. Push the cover hooks forward with both hands to open the printer cover.
  3. Place the label roll on the label holder with the print side facing up.
  4. Pass the labels through the paper guide and pull them over the rubber roller.
  5. Adjust the label guides so they lightly touch the edges of the label backing.
  6. Close the printer cover slowly and make sure it locks securely.
  7. Calibrate the label sensor for the media type you use — with the power-on function or with the Diagnostic Tool (both described below).
note

Recalibrate the gap / black mark sensor every time you change the media. Make sure the printer cover is closed tightly — a cover that is not closed properly results in poor print quality.

LED indicator and button​

The printer has one button and one indicator that lights up in three colours. Pressing the button — on its own or together with the power switch — starts printer functions such as feeding paper, pausing, calibrating the label sensor, printing the self-test and initializing the printer.

LED indicator​

LED colourDescription
Blue (steady)Power on, the printer is ready to print.
Blue (blinking)The printer is downloading data or is paused.
PurpleThe printer is formatting data.
Red (steady)The printer cover is open.
Red (blinking)A printing error has occurred, e.g. out of paper, paper jam or memory error.

Button functions​

  1. Feeding paper — when the printer is ready (LED steady blue), press the button to advance the paper by one label.
  2. Pausing printing — while the printer is printing, press the button to pause the job. The power indicator blinks blue. Press the button again to resume printing.

Power-on functions​

The printer has four power-on functions for setting up and testing the hardware. To start one:

  1. Switch the printer off.
  2. Hold the feed button and switch the printer on.
  3. Keep holding the button while the indicator cycles through its colours and release it when the indicator shows the function you need.

Indicator colour cycle: purple → blue → red (blinks 5 times) → purple (blinks 5 times) → blue (blinks 5 times) → blue (steady).

Power-on functionRelease the button when the indicator is
1. Gap / black mark sensor calibrationblinking red
2. Gap / black mark sensor calibration, self-test printout and debug modeblinking purple (after the red sequence)
3. Printer initialization (restore factory settings)blinking blue
4. Skip the AUTO.BAS programsteady blue

Gap/black mark sensor calibration​

This function sets the sensitivity of the label sensor. Calibrate the sensor whenever you load a new roll with a different specification or after initializing the printer to factory settings. The calibration uses the last set sensor type (gap or black mark) as the reference. By default the printer is set to gap calibration.

  1. Make sure the labels are loaded correctly.
  2. Switch the printer off.
  3. Hold the feed button and switch the printer on.
  4. Release the button when the indicator blinks red.

Whether the sensor detects gaps or black marks depends on the GAP or BLINE command sent to the printer — or on the media type selected in the Diagnostic Tool. For details on the GAP and BLINE commands see the TSPL2 programming manual.

Calibration with self-test and debug mode​

  1. Make sure the labels are loaded correctly.
  2. Switch the printer off.
  3. Hold the feed button and switch the printer on.
  4. Release the button when the indicator blinks purple (after the red sequence).
  5. The printer calibrates the sensor, prints the self-test and enters debug mode.
  6. Switch the printer off and on again to return to normal printing mode.

Before calibrating, confirm the label type to be detected (gap or black mark) with the Diagnostic Tool or the GAP / BLINE command.

Self-test​

After the sensor calibration the printer prints its self-test. Use it before connecting the printer to a computer to confirm that the printer works properly, to check the print quality of the print head and to see the internal settings of the printer. The self-test printout contains:

  • Print head check pattern
  • Model and firmware version
  • Serial number
  • Print head mileage
  • Checksum
  • Serial port settings
  • Character set (code page)
  • Country code
  • Print speed
  • Print density
  • Paper size (width, height)
  • Black mark or gap size (vertical gap, offset)
  • Sensor strength
  • Information about stored files

Debug mode​

After the self-test the printer enters debug mode. In this mode all received data are printed as machine code: the ASCII strings on the left are the data received by the printer and the values on the right are the same data in hexadecimal form. This function is intended for users and engineers who debug programs.

note

A 4" (100 mm) wide label is required to print all debug mode data. To leave debug mode, switch the printer off and on again, or press the feed button to return to the ready state.

Printer initialization​

Printer initialization clears downloaded files from the memory (DRAM) and restores the print parameters to the factory settings.

  1. Switch the printer off.
  2. Hold the feed button and switch the printer on.
  3. Release the button when the indicator blinks blue.
  4. The printer resets, the indicator blinks purple once and then lights steady blue — the printer is ready.

After initialization the printer uses the following default settings:

ParameterDefault value
Speed152.0 mm/s (6 ips) (203 dpi)
Density8
Label width4" (100 mm)
Label height7.9" (180 mm)

Skipping the AUTO.BAS program​

The TSPL2 command language lets you load an auto-execute file (AUTO.BAS) into the flash memory. The printer runs it automatically every time it is switched on. Use this function to ignore the AUTO.BAS file at power-on.

  1. Switch the printer off.
  2. Hold the feed button and switch the printer on.
  3. Release the button when the indicator lights steady blue.
  4. The printer skips the AUTO.BAS program.

Unable to print.The cable is not connected properly. The network connection is not working.Reconnect the cable or replace it. On Ethernet: check that the RJ-45 port LED is on and blinks while data are transmitted, that the printer obtains an IP address in DHCP mode and that the fixed IP address is set correctly. Wait a few seconds for the printer to connect to the server and check the IP address again. Make sure each command line ends with CRLF and the program ends with the PRINT command.
Memory full (FLASH / DRAM).The FLASH / DRAM memory is full.Delete unnecessary files from FLASH / DRAM. DRAM stores up to 256 files and 256 KB of user data; FLASH stores up to 256 files and 2,560 KB of user data.
The microSD card is not available.The card is damaged, inserted incorrectly or comes from an unverified manufacturer.Use a microSD card with a supported capacity from a reputable manufacturer. Remove and reinsert the card.
Poor print quality.Dust or adhesive on the print head. Incorrect print density. Damaged print head. Incorrect print head pressure.Reload the labels. Clean the print head and the rubber roller. Adjust the print density and speed. Print the self-test to check the print head and replace it if it is damaged. Adjust the print head pressure knobs (see below).
Labels are skipped when printing.The label size setting is incorrect. The labels were changed without recalibrating the sensor. The label sensor is dusty.Make sure the print head holder is fully closed. Set the correct label size. Recalibrate the label sensor. Remove dust from the sensor with compressed air.
Incorrect print position on small labels.The label sensor setting or the label size is incorrect. The vertical offset in the printer driver is incorrect.Recalibrate the label sensor. Set the correct label size and gap size. If you use BarTender, set the vertical offset in the printer driver.
Print missing on the left or right side of the label.The label size setting is incorrect.Set the correct label size.
Wrinkled labels.Uneven print head pressure, labels loaded incorrectly or incorrect print density.Adjust the print head pressure knobs. Set a suitable print density. Adjust the label guides to the label width.
Grey lines on black mark paper.Dirty print head or rubber roller.Clean the print head and the rubber roller.
Irregular printing.The printer is in hex dump mode.Switch the printer off and on again to leave dump mode.

Adjusting the print head pressure:

  • If the print is too light on the left side of the label, increase the value of the left pressure knob. If it is already at "5" and the print is still too light, set the knob back to "1" and then adjust the Z-axis adjuster to find the best pressure.
  • If the print is too light on the right side of the label, increase the value of the right pressure knob.
  • With labels thicker than 0.22 mm the print quality may drop — increase the print head pressure first.
