Action/Explanation

Setting the Head Test Count: Press the LEFT BLACK OVAL key to move the cursor, press the RIGHT BLACK OVAL key to change the value of the digit.

Default: 0000 (disables the test)

HEAD TEST COUNT Range: 0000 to 9999

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 the cursor, 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 does not need to be changed unless the printhead is replaced or the main logic board 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 printhead 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 reacts to the 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 is 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.
