If you’re unable to print legible labels, verify that the printer is in Starline mode by printing a self-test label: 

  1. Ensure the printer’s power is OFF.
  2. Press and hold the FEED button.
  3. Power printer ON, only releasing the FEED button when printing begins.
  4. Remove Self-Test page(s) after printing complete
  5. The printed label should say "Emulation : Star Line/T"

If the label says “Emulation: ESC/POS" or similar, you will need to change it to StarLine by following the steps HERE.
