3.2 Loading Labels

The NETUM NT-LP110A printer supports both fanfold and roll labels. For optimal performance, use thermal direct labels.

3.4 Printer Calibration

For accurate label printing, perform a calibration after loading new labels or if print quality issues arise.

1. Ensure labels are properly loaded and the printer is powered on.
2. Press and hold the feed button (usually marked with an arrow) until the printer emits a beep or the status light changes.
3. Release the button. The printer will feed a few blank labels to detect the label gap and size.
