 After your operating environment has been set, perform a print 
test. 
 
1. Perform a print test by using the Printer Driver or an Issue 
Command. 
 
  The printer driver’s Properties screen allows you to set the 
communication conditions, media size, and other printing 
conditions in accordance with your operating environment.  For 
details, refer to the Help for the Windows Printer Drivers 
screen. 
Example: Stock tab display of the Printer Driver’s Properties Screen 
 
 
Print Method:  Direct thermal or thermal transfer is 
selectable.  
Sensor:  Media sensor type is selectable. 
Issue Mode:  Batch, strip or cut is selectable. 
Post-print 
Action: Whether to use the cutter or not is 
selectable.  
Fine 
Adjustment: Adjustment values for the feed amount, 
cut/strip position, etc. can be set.  
 
2.  Confirm the print test result. 
• When a print start position, cut/strip position, or print tone 
needs to be adjusted: ⇒ Section 2.9 Position and Print 
Tone Fine Adjustment 
 
• When pre-printed media is used, and if a print start position is 
not properly detected: ⇒ Section 2.10 Threshold Setting

 „ When using a Strip Module or an optional Cutter Module  
It is necessary to set the issue mode, cut/strip position, etc. on the 
Printer Driver or with TPCL (TEC Printer Command Language) in 
accordance with your printing condition.   
For details of the TPCL, refer to the B-EX4T/EX6T Series 
External Equipment Interface Specification.  
Regarding how to use the Printer Driver, refer to the Help for the 
Windows Printer Drivers screen.  
  
To gain maximum performance and life from the Cutter Module or

NOTE: 
Depending on the print conditions, a label may not return to the home 
position with a reverse feed, even if a reverse feed amount is specified to 
the same length as the forward feed.   
On the following conditions, the media may not return to the home 
position, resulting in an error. 
• The media sensor is used.  
• The media pitch is almost the same as the distance between the print 
head and the media sensors (75.5 mm.) 
• A printer action includes a reverse feed (such as cut issues, strip issues, 
and automatic forward feed standby.)   
To prevent an error from occurring, the reverse feed amount needs to be 
increased by performing the back feed fine adjustment in the positive (+) 
direction.
