2)The printer can be set to another type of head checking, whereby the printer analyzes the print data for the location of barcodes, and only checks the print head areas involved in printing those barcodes. To switch to this mode, at the detection of head error, press the FEED button for five seconds. The new head check mode takes effect. This limited-type of head check for barcode printing integrity only applies to barcodes printed via the ESC+B, ESC+D, ESC_BD commands. The head check is not effective in cases where barcodes are created as graphics.
