Setting the Head Test Count Press the left oval key to move to the next digit position, press
the right oval key to change the value of the digit.
Default: 0000 (Disables the test) Range: 0000 to 9999
The printer periodically performs a test of the printhead functionality, called a “Printhead Test” or
“Head Test”. This parameter establishes how many labels are printed between these internal tests.
Setting the Head Resistor Value Press the left oval key to move to the next digit position,
press the right oval key to increase the value of the digit.
CAUTION: This parameter should only be changed by qualified personnel!
Initial Value: Factory-set to match the printhead shipped with your printer (varries).
Default Value: 0500 Range: 0500 - 1175
This value has been pre-set at the factory to match the resistance value of the printhead. It will not
need to be changed unless...
1) The printhead is replaced.
2) The printer is set to the factory defaults. (The factory default value is usually lower than the
actual resistance value.)
CAUTION: DO NOT set the value higher than that shown on the printhead. Setting a higher value
may damage the printhead!
Before replacing a printhead, look on the bottom of the printhead element for the label that shows
the resistance value (ohm value).
