Dottest endless
9864 9844 9854
Dottest for application with endless (continuous) label stock.
This function prints a pattern to check the printhead adjustment and the dots.
Only in supervisor mode:
If no dot check has been performed (by calling the parameter SERVICE
FUNCTION > Head dot test ) since turning on the printer, a test is started before
printing the status report. Depending on the result, one of the following
messages is printed on the bottom margin of the label:
• "All print dots o.k."
•
"x print dots defective"
¯
9864 8-inch printers do not automatically perform this dot check, because
this would be very time consuming. The printout shows the message:
• "Head Dot Test not yet executed"
P For information about the supervisor mode, see parameter
SYSTEM PARAMETERS > Access authoriz. .
Test pattern
The Dottest endless or Dottest punched prints a pattern consisting of 33 rows
filled with vertical lines on the upper label area. All lines have a constant
distance of 4 dot. With every new row, the line pattern is shifted one dot.
The resulting line-pattern repeats every four rows.
The test pattern shows missing dots clearly as white vertical lines running
through the pattern.
The lower label area is filled with test patterns for comparison.
The bars underneath the test pattern allow the adjustment of the different
zero lines.
Dottest punched
9864 9844 9854
