Service Menu
A service menu is integrated in the TH230 printer, which allows the user to easily
configure the printer, run several diagnostic tests and gain some information about the
printer state and the built-in functionality.
This chapter gives an overview about the handling and the content of the service menu.
Menu handling
Selecting the service menu
To start the service menu you just have to press and hold the linefeed (LF) button during
power up or printer reset.
The service menu splits up in two parts:
LED Service Menu see page 248
Print Service Menu see page 249
If there is no paper inserted in the printer there are only some major functions, which do
not require paper, available via the LED driven menu.
With paper inserted, the Print-menu will be printed out and all of the functionality of the
service menu is available.
The flowchart below shows the process to reach the service mode menu.
