Printing Test Labels

The test labels can be used for checking printhead alignment, printhead bias, dots out of specification, label tracking, and ribbon wrinkling. The examples show the DIP switch settings that select the illustrated label.

Hardware Configuration

The hardware configuration label is the first label printed when you enter Test and Service mode. This label serves as a configuration reference as well as an alphanumeric and alignment print test. This label contains the following information and uses:

∙Printer memory including both storage and image RAM.

∙Printer mileage including inches processed and inches burned.

∙Printhead settings including width, dot size, and burn pot setting.

∙Firmware checksum, program, and version number.

∙Vertical lines for evaluating printhead alignment.

To achieve the highest quality label, print the hardware configuration label at a speed of 3 ips (inches per second).
