3-1. FEED button
When you press the FEED button, the printer moves the label to the defined stop position. If you
are using continuous labels, pressing the FEED button will move label stock until you release the
button again. If you are using individual labels, pressing the FEED button will move only one
label. If the label does not stop at the correct position, you need to run the auto-d etection function
on the label stock (see Section 3-3).
3-2. LED status
Press the FEED button and keep it pressed, then switch on the printer. You will hear three beeps
and the LED lights up red. Release the FEED button. The printer will now autom atically meas ure
the label size (see Section 3-3.) and then print a test page (see Section 3-4.)

Error mode
The printer has detected an error.
(see Section 3-5. Error alerts)
3-3. Label size calibration
The printer can automatically detect and store label height.
That means the host computer does not need to transmit the label height to the printer.
1. Check that the label sensor is positioned correctly.
2. Check that the label stock is loaded correctly.
3. Switch off the printer.
4. Switch on the printer, keeping the FEED button presse d. When the LED starts to flash red,
release the FEED button. The printer will now measure the label stock and store the label
height.

5. Maintenance and adjustment
5-1. Cleaning the print head
Dirt on the print head or glue residue from
the label liner may result in inadequate
print quality. The printer cover must
therefore always be closed. Keeping dirt
and dust away from the paper or labels
ensures a good print quality and a longer
lifespan of the print head. Here is how you
clean the print head:
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. To remove any label residue or other
dirt from the print head (see blue
arrow), please use a soft lint-free
cloth dipped in alcohol.
【
Note 1】
The print head should be cleaned once a
week.
【
Note 2】
Please make sure that there are no metal
fragments or other hard particles on the
soft cloth used to clean the print head.
24
5-2. Labels with black marks
If you are using black-mark label stock that has the printer's maximum feed width, the printer may
not recognise the black marks because they are outside the sensor range. When using label stock
with black marks, you should therefore observe the following restrictions:
For 118 mm wide label stock, the black marks should have the following positions and sizes:
z A > 10.05 mm high
z B < 1.95 mm high
z C > 8.1 mm high
25
5-3. Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The printer is switched on but the LEDs do not
light up.
Check the power supply.
The LED lights up red (ERROR) and printing
is interrupted.
Check whether is an error in the softwar e settings or
the print commands.
Replace the print medium with a suitable medium.
Check whether there is a label jam.
Check whether the label stock is finished.
Check whether the print mechani sm is closed (the print
head is not positioned correctly).
Check whether the print medium is covering the
sensor.
The label stock passes through the printer but
no image is printed.
Please make sure that the label stock is loaded the
right way up and that it is suitable material.
Choose the correct printer driver.
Choose the correct label stock and a suitable printing
mode.
The label stock jams during printing. Clear the paper jam. Remove any label material left on
the thermal print head and clean the print head using a
soft lint-free cloth dipped in alcohol.
The label stock does not move correctly and
there is no printed image on some parts of the
label.
Check whether any label material is stuck to the
thermal print head.
Check for errors in the application software.
Check whether the starting position has been set
incorrectly.
Check the power supply.
There is no printed image on part of the label. Check the thermal print head for dust or other dirt.
Use the internal “CZ SELFTEST” command to check
whether the thermal print head will carry out a
complete print job.
Check the quality of the print medium.
The printed image is positioned incorrectly. Check whether there is paper or dust covering the
sensor.
Check whether the label liner is suitabl e. Please
contact your dealer.
Check the paper guide settings.
A label is missed out during printing. Che ck the label height setting.
Check whether there is dust covering the sensor.
26
The printed image is blurred.
Check the darkness setting.
Check the thermal print head for glue residue or other
dirt.
The stripper is not functioning correctly. Check whether there is dust on the label dispenser.
Check whether the label stock is positioned correctly.
