Power on Utilities There are six power-on utilities to set up and test printer hardware. These utilities are activated by pressing FEED button and by turning on the printer power simultaneously. The utilities are listed as below: 1. Ribbon sensor calibration;Gap/black mark sensor calibration 2. Gap/black mark sensor calibration;Self-test and dump mode 3. 4. 5. 6. Printer initialization Black mark sensor calibration Gap sensor calibration Skip AUTO.BAS 4.1 Ribbon and Gap/Black Mark Sensor Calibration Gap/black mark sensor sensitivity should be calibrated at the following conditions: 1. A brand new printer 2. Change label stock. 3. Printer initialization. Please follow the steps below to calibrate the ribbon and gap/black mark sensor. 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Hold on the button then turn on the power switch. 3 Release the button when LED becomes red and blinking. (Any red will do during the 5 blinks). It will calibrate the ribbon sensor and gap/black mark sensor sensitivity. The LED color will be changed as following order: Amber red (5 blinks) amber (5 blinks) green (5 blinks) green/amber (5 blinks) red/amber (5 blinks) solid green Note: Please select gap or black mark sensor by GAP or BLINE command prior to calibrate the sensor. For more information about GAP and BLINE command, please refer to TSPL2 programming manual. 20 4.2 Gap/Black Mark Calibration;Self-test;Dump Mode While calibrate the gap/black mark sensor, printer will measure the label length, print the internal configuration (self-test) and then enter the dump mode. To calibrate gap or black mark sensor, depends on the sensor setting in the last print job. Please follow the steps below to calibrate the sensor. 1.Turn off the power switch. 2. Hold on the button then turn on the power switch. 3. Release the button when LED becomes amber and blinking. (Any amber will do during the 5 blinks). The LED color will be changed as following order. Amber red (5 blinks) amber (5 blinks) green (5 blinks) green/amber (5 blinks) red/amber (5 blinks) solid green 4. It calibrates the sensor and measures the label length and prints internal settings then enter the dump mode. Note: Please select gap or black mark sensor by GAP or BLINE command prior to calibrate the sensor. For more information about GAP and BLINE command, please refer to TSPL2 programming manual. 21 Self-test Printer will print the printer configuration after gap/black mark sensor calibration. Self-test printout can be used to check if there is any dot damage on the heater element, printer configurations and available memory space. Print head check pattern Firmware version Firmware checksum Printed mileage (meter) Serial port configuration Country code Print speed (inch/sec) Print darkness Label size (inch) Gap distance (inch) Gap/black mark sensor sensitivity Total & available memory space Fig. 29 Self-test printout Note: 1. The physical flash memory for RoHS compliant version is 2MB Flash and 2MB DRAM. 2. System occupies 960 KB in Flash memory so total flash memory space for user downloading is 1088 KB 3. System occupies 1792 KB in DRAM so total DRAM memory space for user downloading is 256 KB 22 Dump mode Printer will enter dump mode after printing printer configuration. In the dump mode, all characters will be printed in 2 columns as following. The left side characters are received from your system and right side data are the corresponding hexadecimal value of the characters. It allows users or engineers to verify and debug the program. ASCII Data Hex decimal data related to left column of ASCII data Fig. 30 Dump mode printout Note: Turn off / on the power to resume printer for normal printing. 23 4.3 Printer Initialization Printer initialization is used to clear DRAM and restore printer settings to defaults. The only one exception is ribbon sensitivity, which will note be restored to default. Printer initialization is activated by the following procedures. 1. Turn off the power switch. 2. Hold on the button then turn on the power switch. 3. Release the button when LED turns green after 5 amber blinks. (Any green will do during the 5 blinks). The LED color will be changed as following: Amber red (5 blinks) green/amber (5 blinks) amber (5 blinks) green (5 blinks) red/amber (5 blinks) solid green Printer configuration will be restore to defaults as below after initialization.

Troubleshooting This section lists the common problems that according to the LED status and other problems you may encounter when operating the printer. Also, it provides solutions. 6.1 LED Status LED Status / Color Printer Status Solution Number Off off Solid Green on Green with blinking Pause Red with blinking Stopped 1. No power. Turn on the power switch. Check if the green LED is lit on power supply. If it is not lit on, power supply is broken. Check both power connection from the power cord to the power supply and from the power supply to the printer power jack. 2. The printer is on and ready to use. No action necessary. 3. The printer is paused. Press the feed button to resume printing. 4. The out of label or ribbon or the printer setting is not correct Out of label or ribbon Load a roll of label and follow the instructions in Loading the Paper then press the feed button to resume printing. Load a roll of ribbon and follow the instructions in Loading the Ribbon then press the feed button to resume printing. Printer setting is not correct Initialize the printer by following the instructions in “Power on Utility”. 28 6.2 Print Quality Continuous feeding labels The printer setting may go wrong. Please do the Initialization and Gap/Black Mark Calibration. No print on the label Is the label or ribbon loaded correctly? Follow the instructions in Loading the Paper or Loading the Ribbon. Does the ribbon run out? Follow the instructions in Loading the Ribbon. Poor print quality Top cover is not closed properly. Close the top cover completely and make sure the right side and left side levers are latched to top cover properly. Clean the thermal print head. Adjust the print density setting. Ribbon and paper media are not compatible. 29 7. Specifications 7.1 Printer Specifications Item Mechanism Resolution Max. Print Width Max.
