PAUSE Key Self Test
Enter this self test mode by pressing the PAUSE Key while turning the AC
power ON.
This self test consists of eight separate test sequences, printing labels at both
Speed “A” and Speed “D” (“C” for the 300-dpi 105S and 105Se). During the
first four test sequences, the printer simulates the “Tear-Off” mode and
backfeeds the media prior to printing each label. During the last four test
sequences, the printer simulates the “Rewind” mode and does not backfeed the
media.
This self test can be used to print the test labels required when making
adjustments to the printer’s mechanical assemblies. These test labels can also
be printed when required during the Configuration and Calibration processes
described in Getting Ready to Print. See the label example in Figure 3.2.
NOTE: If the Take Label Sensor pair is mounted on the front of the printer,
“PEEL OPTION INSTALLED” will be printed on the first label. During the first
four test sequences, each label must be manually removed from the sensor path
before the next label will print. During test sequences five through eight, the
Take Label Sensor pair is not enabled and continuous printing occurs.
To bypass the first four sequences, press the PAUSE Key; then tear off the first
printed label. Once the label is removed, the printer will enter the PAUSE mode.
Press the CANCEL Key four times and make sure the Data LED flashes once
each time. Press the PAUSE Key once to start test sequence five.
1. The initial test sequence prints 15 labels at speed “A” then automatically
PAUSES the printer. Another 15 label sequence will start if the PAUSE Key
is pressed to permit printing.
2. While the printer is PAUSED, press the CANCEL Key once to select the
second self test sequence. Now each time the PAUSE Key is pressed, the
printer prints 15 labels at speed “D” (“C” for the 300-dpi 105S and 105Se).
Another 15 label sequence will start if the PAUSE Key is pressed to permit
printing.
3. While the printer is PAUSED, press the CANCEL Key once to select the
third self test sequence. Now each time the PAUSE Key is pressed, the
printer prints 50 labels at speed “A”. Another 50 label sequence will start if
the PAUSE Key is pressed to permit printing.
4. While the printer is PAUSED, press the CANCEL Key once to select the
fourth self test sequence. Now each time the PAUSE Key is pressed, the
printer prints 50 labels at speed “D” (“C” for the 300-dpi 105S and 105Se).
Another 50 label sequence will start if the PAUSE Key is pressed to permit
printing.
5. Self Test sequences five through eight are the same as sequences one
through four but simulate the “Rewind” mode of operation by not
backfeeding at the beginning of each label. In addition, the Take Label
Sensor pair is disabled during these test sequences so labels do not need to
be removed individually.
