Action/Explanation

 

 

Setting the Head Test Count

 

Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL

 

 

key to move to the next digit position, press the RIGHT BLACK

 

 

OVAL key to change the value of the digit.

 

HEAD TEST

Default: 0000 (disables the test)

 

 

Range: 0000 to 9999

 

 

 

COUNT

 

 

 

The printer periodically performs a test of the printhead

 

 

 

 

functionality, called a “printhead test” or “head test.” This

 

 

parameter establishes how many labels are printed between

 

 

these internal tests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting the Head Resistor Value

Press the LEFT BLACK

 

 

OVAL key to move to the next digit position, press the RIGHT

 

 

BLACK OVAL key to increase the value of the digit.

 

 

CAUTION: This parameter should only be changed by qualified

 

 

personnel!

 

 

 

 

Initial Value: Factory-set to match the printhead shipped with

 

 

your printer.

 

 

 

 

Default Value: 0500

 

 

 

HEAD RESISTOR

Range: 0500 to 1175

 

 

 

 

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 the

 

 

printhead is replaced.

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: DO NOT set the value higher than that shown on the

 

 

printhead. Setting a higher value may damage the

 

 

printhead!

 

 

 

 

Before replacing a printhead, look on the bottom of the printhead

 

 

element for the label that shows the resistance value (ohm value).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting the Verifier Port

Press the RIGHT or LEFT BLACK

 

 

OVAL key to display other choices.

 

 

Default: Off

 

 

 

 

Selections: Off, 1 VER-RPRNT, 2 VER-THRUPUT

 

 

The auxiliary port is used to determine how the printer will react

 

 

to the Zebra on-line verifier. There are currently three operating

 

 

conditions for this port:

 

 

 

 

• Off: The verifier port is off.

 

 

 

VERIFIER PORT

• 1 VER-RPRNT ERR: Label reprinted if verifier detects an error.

 

 

If a bar code is near the upper edge of the label, the label will be

 

 

fed out far enough to be verified and then backfed to allow the

 

 

next label to be printed and verified.

 

 

• 2 VER-THRUPUT: Allows greatest throughput but may not

 

 

indicate a verification error immediately upon detection. May

 

 

print from one to three labels before an error is recognized and

 

 

printing stops.

 

 

 

 

For more information on the operation of the optional verifier,

 

 

refer to the documentation provided with that option.
