Run A Barcode Demo Test
IMPORTANT
Printronix recommends using the supplied starter roll of 100
labels to setup and verify printer operation. This will avoid
expending the more expensive smart labels for this task.
Before you send an actual print job, run a barcode demo test:
1. Press the PAUSE key until OFFLINEdisplays.
2. Press the TEST PRINT key until Printer Tests/Barcode Demo
displays.
3. Press . The Barcode Demo test pattern will start and print two
barcodes.
4. Check the test pattern. If necessary, reposition the pressure
blocks to obtain a uniform print quality. In most cases, you will
need to adjust only the right pressure block.
5. If desired, you can run additional printer tests, such as Grey,
Grid, and Checkerboard. See step 1 above to start other tests.
NOTE: These tests default to run continuously. Press to end the
test.
