Head Test Function

Periodically a Head Test is automatically performed to ensure that the printhead elements are working correctly. This parameter determines how many labels are printed between these internal printhead tests.

Setting the Head Test Count

The Head Test Count is used to select the head test interval (the number of labels printed between head tests).

HEAD TEST COUNT

® 0000 +

Press the left oval key to move to the next digit position, and press the right oval key to change the value of the digit. The displayed value represents the number of labels printed between tests.

Default: 0000 (disables the head test)

Range: 0000 to 9999

Press the NEXT key to display HEAD RESISTOR.

Head Resistance

Setting the Head Resistance Value

This value has been pre-set at the factory to match the resistance value of the printhead. It will not need to be changed, unless:

1.The printhead is replaced.

2.The printer is set to the factory defaults. (The factory default value is usually lower than the actual head resistance value.)

Before replacing a printhead, look on the bottom of the new printhead for the label that shows the resistance (ohm – Ω) value.

CAUTION: DO NOT set the value higher than that shown on the printhead. Setting a higher value may damage the printhead.

HEAD RESISTOR

®0500 OHMS +

Press the left oval key to move to the next digit position, and press the right oval key to increase the value of the digit.

Initial Value: Factory set

Range: 0500 - 1175

Press the NEXT key to display VERIFIER PORT.

Verifier Port

Setting the Verifier Port

The Verifier Port determines how the optional verifier will interface with a Zebra printer.

This setting is factory set and should not be changed unless the factory defaults have been reloaded. Please make a note of it! While other choices are valid, the printer must be returned to its designated setting in order for it to work properly.
