Use the “~X4” command to print a list
of all existing file names. Check
whether the file name is correct.
File name already exists. The printer
also prints the message "Filename is
repeated".
Change the name of the file and try
storing it on the printer again.

3.3 Label Calibration and Self Test
Label 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.
Self Test
Self-test function lets you check whether the printer is functioning normally.
Here is how you run the label size calibration and self test.
1. Check that the label stock is loaded correctly.
2. Switch off the printer.
3. Switch the printer on again, keeping the FEED button pressed. When the LED starts to flash red, release the FEED
button. The printer will now measure the label stock and store the label height.
4. Once the printer has successfully measured the label stock, it will print a self-test label.

5 Maintenance And Adjustment
5.1 Cleaning The Print Head
Dirt on the print head or ribbon, or glue residue from the label stock may result in inadequate print quality. The printer
cover must therefore always be closed during printing. Keeping dirt and dust away from the paper or labels ensures a
good print quality and a longer lifespan of the print head.
Cleaning Steps
Here is how you clean the print head.
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Release the printing mechanism and lift it.
4. Remove the ribbon.
5. To remove any label residue or other dirt from the print head (see red arrow), please use a soft lint-free cloth
dipped in alcohol.
****The print head should be cleaned once a week.
****Please make sure that there are no metal fragments or other hard particles on the soft cloth used to clean the
print head.

5 Maintenance And Adjustment
5.2 Adjusting The Print Head Pressure
When printing on special media (with varying material thickness), the print quality may suffer. You will then need to
adjust the print head pressure.
Adjustment Steps
1. Open the printer cover.
2. Remove the ribbon.
3. Use a screw driver and slowly turn the adjustment screws for the print head to increase or reduce the print head
pressure.

5 Maintenance And Adjustment
5.3 Adjusting The Print Line
When the print line is incorrectly set, the print quality on one side of the medium may suffer.
In such a case, the print line must be adjusted so it is positioned parallel to the paper feed roller.
Adjustment Methods
1. To move the print head in Direction-A as indicated by the red arrow, turn the adjustment screw anticlockwise
(see Arrow-1).
2. To move the print head in Direction-B as indicated by the red arrow, turn the adjustment screw clockwise
(see Arrow-2).
