PAUSE Key and CANCEL Key
This self test can be used to verify proper printer operation after parts have been
replaced or adjusted. When activated, the printer prints a maximum of 500 Head
Test Labels. Each label backfeeds prior to printing and feeds forward to the rest
position after printing. A serialized number will print on each label. Press the
PAUSE Key or turn the printer power OFF to stop printing. Refer to Figure 3.6.
FEED Key and CANCEL Key
This self test is normally performed during the manufacturing process or after a
major overhaul of the mechanical assemblies. This test prints seven
pre-programmed label formats, first at Speed “D,” then the same formats at
Speed “A.” The printer will automatically pause after each format. The sequence
of label formats is shown below. Refer to Figures 3.7 through 3.13.
