3.4.1 Running Test Patterns
Your SNAP 700 printer offers you two Test Patterns to run before you proceed to
production.
Test Pattern 1 (Narrow Setup Test Pattern), is a format designed to run on a 2”
wide fabric. It consisting of a solid line down the middle on the front and back of
the label and a solid line across the web that is exactly 1” from the cut, along with
a 2” wide brick pattern. These lines are helpful in adjusting print position to
compensate for mechanical tolerances in the printer, and the brick pattern can be
used to detect dot out in the head.
Test Pattern 2 (Wide Setup Test Pattern) is similar to Test Pattern 1, except that
it is designed to run on a 5” wide stock.
Test Pattern 3 and 4 (Custom Test Pattern 1 and Custom Test Pattern 2) more
closely resemble actual labels and can be used to make adjustments to the
printhead pressure and contrast (see section 4.1.1 and 4.1.2).
When you have determined which Test Pattern you wish to operate, use the
appropriate procedure.
NOTE: The printer is set up to print the selected label test
format in a very large quantity. You must manually start
and stop the printing to make any necessary adjustments
and to end the test run.

1. To run a test label, press and hold the Voice button about two seconds. The
voice message will say, “Press Start for Test Pattern.”
