PAUSE Key Self Test

S-500 Printer

This Self Test is made up of four

separate features, printing at both

speed “A” (2" per second) and

speed “D” (6" per second).

The initial Self Test prints 15

labels at speed “A” then

automatically PAUSES the

printer. Each time the PAUSE

Key is pressed, an additional 15

labels print.

While the printer is PAUSED, pressing the CANCEL Key once alters the Self

Test. Now each time the PAUSE Key is pressed the printer prints 15 labels at

speed “D”.

While the printer is PAUSED, pressing the CANCEL Key a second time alters

the Self Test again. Now each time the PAUSE Key is pressed the printer prints

50 labels at speed “A”.

While the printer is PAUSED, pressing the CANCEL Key once alters the Self

Test a third time. Now each time the PAUSE Key is pressed the printer prints 50

labels at speed “D”.

This Self Test can be used to provide the test printouts required when making

adjustments to the printer’s mechanical assemblies. These test printouts can also

be used during the configuration mode adjustments described in the user’s guide.

See the printout example in Figure 3.2.

S-300 Printer

This Self Test is similar to the test sequence discussed above. However, only two

test sequences are performed, printing at Speed “A” (2" per second) only.

FEED Key Self Test

The CANCEL Key Self Test should be

performed prior to this Self Test.

Information on the “Configuration” Printout

(CANCEL Key Self Test) will be 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 Printout will print

out at various PLUS or MINUS Darkness

settings relative to the Darkness value shown

on the Configuration Printout. Inspect these

printouts and determine which one has the

best darkness setting for the application. See

the example in Figure 3.3.

The value printed on that label is added to

(plus) or subtracted from (minus) the
