The Zebra Stripe Printer features built-in test routines to aid the technician in
diagnosing faults. Some of these tests are enabled by pressing a Front Panel Key
while turning the Printer Power Switch ON.
Power On Self Test
A Power ON Self Test (POST) is performed 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 Lights turn ON and OFF to ensure proper
operation.
At the end of this Self Test, only the POWER light will remain ON. If other lights
are also lit, refer to Section 6 “Troubleshooting”.
If the printer is set up for non-continuous media, one or more labels feed out up
to a maximum length of one label plus three additional inches of media.
