1-7 Printer Test and Calibration Preparation for Test

These procedures run a complete set of performance tests. If the printer fails a test, troubleshoot as required, then rerun all tests.

Inspect the printer for physical damage before testing or calibrating it. Inspect for:

Cuts or gouges in the rubber drive roller

Dust buildup or other obstructions of the label sensor or sensor LED

Adhesive buildup or scratches on the print head

Adhesive buildup or other obstructions in the paper path

Any other physical damage that might affect printer alignment

Correct any problems found before beginning the printer calibration using the calibration software.

NOTE:

The calibration software is DOS-based and can be run directly from the diskette or installed on your hard drive. You must run the software from the DOS prompt. If using Windows 95, reboot your computer in MS-DOS mode. Do not try to run the software in a window.

Installing the software to your hard drive:

1.At the DOS prompt, insert the calibration disk in your computer's 3-1/2 disk drive and access the drive.

2.At the prompt, type dir and press the Enter key.

3.Copy the file CX200.exe to your hard drive.

4.Type CX200.exe to view the opening screen. Refer to the following pages to continue with the program.
