Printer Tests
A sequence of automatic tests is performed during printer power-up. If any
faults are detected at that time, a fault message will display.
Before setting the printer for online operation, run test patterns to ensure
proper operation and print quality. The printer has a number of tests which
allow you to check for proper printer operation and print quality.
You can invoke the various test patterns from the TEST PRINT key or the
DIAGNOSTICS menu. For more information, see page 226.
NOTE: Before attempting to print test labels, you must set up the printer for
the type of media installed. See the MEDIA CONTROL menu on
page 107 for more information.
