Run A Barcode Demo Test

IMPORTANT Printronix recommends using the supplied starter roll of 100 labels to set up and verify printer operation. This will avoid expending the more expensive smart labels for this task.

Before you send an actual print job, run a barcode demo test:

1.Press the PAUSE key until OFFLINE displays.

2.Press TEST PRINT until Printer Tests/Barcode Demo displays.

3.Press . The Barcode Demo test pattern will start and print two barcodes.

4.Check the test pattern. If necessary, reposition the pressure blocks to obtain a uniform print quality. In most cases, you will need to adjust only the right pressure block.

5.If desired, you can run additional printer tests, such as Grey, Grid, and Checkerboard. See step 1 above to start other tests.

NOTE: These tests run continuously by default. Press to end the test.
