Configure Label Sizes


This will need to be done for each printer.
Tap the button for the size of label you want to program your printer for.


Gap Label vs Bar Label


If the labels have a black stripe across the back of the label (on the label liner) then the label is a “Bar Label” otherwise it is a “Gap Label”. If this is not set correctly, the printer will print many extra labels which will be blank. Example of Bar Label is below.



Select Gap Label, or Bar Label. Refer to image and instructions above to identify the correct one.


After Correct label is selected, choose ‘Calibrate Printer’


Calibrate Printer

When a calibration is performed, the printer will sense the labels loaded in the printer and determine the height of the label. This allows the printer to understand when to start printing and when to stop. Any time a label size is changed, a calibration is required.

Tap on "Calibrate Printer"


A warning will appear, READ it, and tap "OK"



Your printer will roll out two blank labels. The App will give you the confirmation message pictured below. Once the command is finished, the printer will reset. The printer must reset on its own for the new programming to save.



Further Testing: If you need to test your printer further, you will need to go back to the previous screen and reconnect to your printer. Once you have reconnected, you can enter the printer "Configuration" screen and perform the additional functions listed above.
