PAUSE Key Self Test

This self test is actually comprised of four individual test features.

1.The initial self test prints 15 labels at speed “ A” (2" per sec- ond) then automatically PAUSES the printer. Each time the PAUSE key is pressed, an additional 15 labels print out.

2.While the printer is PAUSED, pressing the CANCEL key once alters the self test. Now each time the PAUSE key is pressed the printer prints 15 labels at speed “ D” (6" per second).

3.While the printer is PAUSED, pressing the CANCEL key a sec- ond time alters the self test again. Now, each time the PAUSE key is pressed the printer prints 50 labels at speed “ A” .

4.While the printer is PAUSED, pressing the CANCEL key once alters the self test a third time. Now, each time the PAUSE key is pressed the printer prints 50 labels at speed “ D” .

Note: On printers with either the rewind or peel option installed, the Peel Mode is activated during the first half (steps 1–4) of the PAUSE Key Self Test. On printers with a rewind option, the rewind plate must be removed for proper function of the peel sensors during the test. The first label to print will say, “ PEEL OPTION INSTALLED” . Each label must be manually removed from the sensor path before the next label will print. Steps 1–4 will then be repeated in Rewind Mode.
