Appendix C - Testing the Print Head

When should I run the test on the print head?

If you notice that the imprint on the timecard appears to be missing segments, you can test the print head to make sure it is working correctly.

To test the print head, see the instructions below.

￿Enter the ‘Setup Mode’. See Page 13.

￿Press the SET button until you get to Function 15 Example: Set the print test to 4 imprints

Function #

Print Head

15:0

15:4

Step 1

Press the ￿ or - button until the display shows ‘4’. Note: Any value between 2 and 9 puts the time recorder into print head test mode.

Step 2

Press the SET button when the setting is correct. The time recorder will be in the print head test mode.

Note: If you scroll past the setting you wish, continue pressing the ￿ or - button until the desired setting displays, then press the SET button.

Step 3

With the time recorder in a normal time/date display. Insert a timecard and make an imprint. The imprint should look similar to the example.

Make 3 additional imprints, after the 4th imprint the time recorder will have completed the ‘print head test mode’ and be ready to imprint on the timecards normally.
