NOTE: The CANCEL Key Self Test should be performed prior to this self test.

Information on the printed configuration label (CANCEL Key Self Test) is used with the results

of this self test to determine the best darkness setting for a specific media/ribbon combination.

The FEED key self test label prints out at various positive and negative darkness settings

relative to the darkness value shown on the configuration label. See the label example in

Figure 3-3. Inspect these labels and determine which one has the best darkness setting for

the application. This value can be entered into the printer by configuring the “Setting

Darkness” parameter found in the configuration section of the User’s Guide.

The value printed on the selected test label is added to (+) or subtracted from (–) the

“Darkness” value specified on the configuration label.

The resulting numeric value, 0 to 30, that is best for that specific media/ribbon combination

should be entered as the “Darkness” parameter.
