Chapter 2 Setup Setup When You Use This Product for the First Time Ink charging and media position detection setting are necessary before you use this product for the first time. Follow the steps below. 1 Load the label paper roll supplied with this product. For details, see "Loading/Replacing the Roll Paper" on page 38 . 2 Turn on the printer. 3 Load a new ink cartridge. For details, see "Loading the Ink Cartridge" on page 30 . Ink charging starts after the ink cartridge cover is closed. 2 When the ink cartridge is installed for the first time, the printer takes approximately 8 minutes for ink charging. The POWER LED flashes during ink charging.
Do not turn off the printer or open the roll paper cover or the ink car- tridge cover. If the power is turned off, the roll paper cover is opened, or the ink cartridge cover is opened during ink charging, ink charging will restart from the beginning and an extremely large amount of ink will be consumed. When ink charging finishes, the POWER LED stops flashing and stays on. 4 Set the media source and media detection of the printer for the paper type you will be using. Connect the printer to the computer via a network. Then access Printer Setting of this product from the Web browser and configure the settings.
This setting is not required when the Label Roll Paper supplied with this product is loaded. For details, see "2. Setting for media detection" on page 41 . The colors of printouts may become abnormal if you tilt this product or subject the printer to any shocks. When you move this product after ink charging, check the colors by performing a test print. If the colors of printouts are not normal, perform head cleaning. See "Utility-Head Cleaning (Printer Setting)" on page 93 for how to perform head cleaning. If you turn the printer off without using the power button, the print head may not return to its home position.
In this case, the next time the printer is turned on, the auto head cleaning is performed, which wastes ink. 23
