Print Engine Diagnostics

Print Engine Diagnostics

Self tests and other diagnostics provide specific information about the condition of the print engine. The self tests produce sample printouts and provide specific information that helps determine the operating conditions for the print engine. The most commonly used are the Power-On and the CANCEL self tests.

Important • Use full-width media when performing self tests. If your media is not wide enough, the test labels may print on the platen roller. To prevent this from happening, check the print width using Set Print Width on page 67, and ensure that the width is correct for the media that you are using.

Each self test is enabled by pressing a specific control panel key or combination of keys while turning on (I) the print engine power. Keep the key(s) pressed until the first indicator light turns off. The selected self test automatically starts at the end of the Power-On Self Test.

Note •

• When performing these self tests, do not send data to the print engine from the host.

•If your media is shorter than the label to be printed, the test label continues on the next label.

•When canceling a self test prior to its actual completion, always reset the print engine by turning it off (O) and then on (l).

•If print engine is in applicator mode and the liner is being taken up by the applicator, the operator must manually remove the labels as they become available.

Power-On Self Test

A Power-On Self Test (POST) is performed each time the print engine is turned on (l). During this test, the control panel lights (LEDs) turn on and off to ensure proper operation. At the end of this self test, only the POWER LED remains lit. When the Power-On Self Test is complete, the media is advanced to the proper position.

To initiate the Power-On Self Test, complete these steps:1.Turn on (I) the print engine.

The POWER LED illuminates. The other control panel LEDs and the LCD monitor the progress and indicate the results of the individual tests. All messages during the POST display in English; however, if the test fails, the resulting messages cycle through the international languages as well.
