PAUSE Self Test
This self test can be used to provide the test labels required when making adjustments to the
printer’s mechanical assemblies. See the sample printout below.
To perform a PAUSE self test, complete these steps:
1. Turn Off (O) the printer.
2. Press and hold PAUSE while turning the power On (I). Hold PAUSE until the DATA light
turns off.
• The initial self test prints 15 labels at 2.4 in. (61 mm) per second (1 in. or 25.4 mm per
second for the 96XiIIIPlus), then automatically pauses the printer. When PAUSE is
pressed, an additional 15 labels print. Figure 55 shows a sample of the labels.
