Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

MODE Key Self Test

This self test places the printer in a Communications Diagnostics Mode. In this mode, the printer prints the ASCII characters and their corresponding hexadecimal values for any data received from the host computer. See Figure 30.

Note: Turn the power OFF to exit this self test.

FEED Key and PAUSE Key

If it is ever necessary to reset the printer configuration to the factory default values, press these two keys at the same time while turning the Power ON. Permanently save these values in memory by pressing the MODE key four (4) times - MODE lights cycle ON then OFF. A Media

Calibration procedure must be performed any time Factory Default values are saved. See Chapter 1.

Extended Printer Diagnostics

Extended diagnostic tests are available for the Zebra Stripe Printer. The Stripe Maintenance Manual, Volume 1 (part # 44868L), provides information needed to perform these additional tests.
