A Power-On Self Test is performed automatically each time the printer is turned on. This
test checks for proper initialization of various electronic circuits and establishes starting
parameters as those stored in the printer’s memory. During this test sequence, the front
panel LEDs turn on and off to ensure proper operation. Once completed, only the Power
LED remains on. If other LEDs are on, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 3-1.

These tests produce sample labels and provide specific information that helps the
operator determine the operating conditions for the printer.
Each self test is enabled by pressing and holding in a specific key while turning the power
switch On (l). Press the key until the front panel LEDs turn on. When the Power-On Self
Test is complete, the selected printer self test automatically starts.
Notes • When performing self tests (except for the Mode Key Self Test), disconnect
the printer data cable from the printer.
Use full-width media when performing self tests. Labels less than full width lose printing
on the right side. Printing may run on to the next label when using short labels.
When canceling a self test before its completion, turn the printer power switch Off (O)
and back On (l).
When performing the self tests in Peel-Off Mode, remove the labels as they become
available.
When the cutter option is installed and enabled, labels printed during the self test are
automatically cut as they are printed.
