Unit 4: Printer Configuration
4.4.2 User Test Print Mode (FEED + POWER ON)
This mode produces test labels for diagnostic purposes. Upon entering this mode on startup, release the FEED button. A beep is then produced, and the ERROR LED will light up.
When labels have been loaded properly, press the ONLINE or FEED button to start printing. Pressing the FEED button produces small test label data, while the ONLINE button produces a big test print.
The ERROR LED goes off during the test printing. Pressing the FEED button at any time during the test print operation will pause or resume the print job.
Note: To end the test print, make sure to press the FEED button to pause the printing, then turn the printer OFF.
