Pitch

This label is a gray scale printout of every third dot. The test label should present a regular pattern with dots that line up diagonally when held at an angle. Look for irregularities that may signal a problem with the platen roller or the media path. If the printhead is uneven or the print path is skewed, it will be reflected in this label. Use this label to determine whether the printhead is printing evenly, but use the actual customer format to pass/fail the printhead.
