The second of the two labels is the Test Pattern Label. This label is used to determine whether the Printhead is in need of replacement. 'Good' and 'Bad' Test Pattern labels are shown below:

Good test label indicates Printhead is operating normally.

Streaks in test label indicate a dirty or faulty Printhead. (See Ch. 3 for cleaning and replacement).

1.11Available Options

External Cutter

The Printer can be ordered with an Optional Cutter Mechanism, (for cutting tags and labels), and can be installed by the user. The Cutter Option easily attaches to the front of the Printer and its modular cable plugs into the back. When properly installed the cutter will cut each label as it is printed.

Present Sensor

The Printer can either be ordered with the Present Sensor Option or the option can be purchased and installed at a later date. The Present Sensor allows the Printer to be configured for "one up" printing. With the sensor installed, the Printer will not print the next label until the previous printed label has been removed from the Printer.
