Figure 16. Pause Key Self Test Sample Printout

This self test can be used to provide the test labels required when making adjustments to the printer’s mechanical assemblies. See the sample printout in Figure 16.

Turn the printer off. Press the Pause key and hold while turning the power on.

1.The initial self test prints 15 labels at speed “A” (2.4” per second) then automatically pauses the printer. Each time the Pause key is pressed, an additional 15 labels print.

2.While the printer is paused, pressing the Cancel key 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 again 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 again alters the self test a third time. Now each time the Pause key is pressed the printer prints 50 labels at speed “D”.

5.While the printer is paused, pressing the Cancel key again alters the self test a fourth time. Now each time the Pause key is pressed the printer prints 15 labels at 12” per second.
