Feed Self Test
See Figure 34.
Figure 34 • Feed Self Test Label
To perform the Feed Self Test, complete these steps:
1. Turn the printer Off (O).
2. Press and hold FEED while turning the printer On (l).
3. Release FEED after the DATA light turns off (approximately five seconds).
The Feed Self Test prints out at various darkness settings above and below that of the darkness
value shown on the configuration label. Examine these labels and determine which one has the
best darkness setting for your application. This value can be entered into the printer by setting
the darkness during the configuration procedure. See Basic Configuration on page 46 for more
information.
The value printed on that label is added to (plus) or subtracted from (minus) the darkness value
specified on the configuration label. The resulting numeric value (0 to 30) is the best darkness
value for that specific media and ribbon combination.
