PAUSE Self Test
This self test can be used to provide the test labels required when making adjustments to the
printer’s mechanical assemblies or to determine if any printhead elements are not working.
Figure 20 shows a sample printout.
To perform a PAUSE self test, complete these steps:
1. Turn off ( O ) the printer.
2. Press and hold PAUSE while turning on ( I ) the printer. Hold PAUSE until the first control
panel light turns off.
• The initial self test prints 15 labels at the printer’s slowest speed, and then
automatically pauses the printer. Each time
PAUSE is pressed, an additional 15 labels
print. Figure 20 shows a sample of the labels.
