  1. Make sure media is loaded and the printer power is on
  2. Press and hold the Feed button until the green status light flashes once, then twice, and then continues flashing until reaching a group of seven flashes
  3. Once the seventh cycle of flashes is complete, release the Feed button
  4. The printer will set the media sensor for the label backing being used
    • After it is done making this adjustment, the roll will automatically feed until a label is positioned at the print head
    • A profile of the media sensor settings will print
      • During this step, multiple labels will feed as the printer tries to determine the break location for each label
    • Upon completion, the printer will save the new settings in memory and the printer is ready for normal operation
