Print Test Label button - Clicking on this button will print a test label to assist in troubleshooting printing problems. This should help verify that the computer being used is communicating with the printer.

Send File to Printer... button - Click this button to send a file (*.prn) irectly to the printer. The driver does no processing on the contents of his file, and it must already consist of commands understood by the rinter.

Check Print Head... button - This option allows execution of the printer’s broken pins test. The test will detect if thermal elements in the print head are open. A failed test would suggest a need to replace the print head to ensure perfect print quality. Clicking on this button will bring up the following display window.

∙The Head: scrolling text box is only available if the printer happens to be a color printer, which will allow selection of one of the color heads.

∙The broken pins check is only available on printers containing the broken pins check circuitry. The B-852 printer does indeed contain the broken pins check circuit.

∙Clicking on the Specify Range: check box will allow entering in a range of elements to check by inputting the starting and ending width into the two "Specify Range" windows.

∙Click the OK button to start the test. After starting the test check the printer’s LCD display for a pass/fail message. Failure of this test indicates that one or more of the head’s thermal elements are open and the thermal head will need to be replaced.
