Level 1 Diagnostics
Level 1 Diagnostics (setup mode) allow you to change the settings for various printer functions (described on the following pages) and to run certain tests using the DIP switches.

∙Turn the power off (not required, but recommended): press the On Line button (although the printer still receives power, this is sufficient for changing the DIP switches)
∙The settings can only be changed when the printer is in level 1 diagnostics (setup mode): switch 1 must be set to On.
∙Turn the power back on. The printer beeps, and the On Line light (green) blinks.
∙Once the settings have been changed and stored in the EEROM, the DIP switches must be set back to the
∙The stored settings for the functions are printed with a dump of all resident characters during a print test. See “Testing the Printer” on page 23.
∙The default settings are set at the factory and are stored in the history
EEROM.
Caution: If you change the switch settings, be sure they are the correct settings for that particular function or test to avoid accidentally changing the settings for another function or test. If the settings are accidentally changed, use the switch settings shown in the tables throughout this section to change those settings back. If you need assistance, contact your service representative.
The functions and tests are described in the following order in this section:
∙Setting Data Error
∙Setting printhead resistance
∙Setting default lines per inch
∙Setting partial cut distance
∙Ignoring/using the carriage return
