Head Test Function
Periodically a Head Test is automatically performed to ensure that the printhead elements are working
correctly. This parameter determines how many labels are printed between these internal printhead
tests.
Setting the Head Test Count
The Head Test Count is used to select the head test interval (the number of labels printed between
head tests).
HEAD TEST COUNT
® 0000 +
Press the left oval key to move to the next digit position, and press the right oval key to change the
value of the digit. The displayed value represents the number of labels printed between tests.
Default: 0000 (disables the head test)
Range: 0000 to 9999
Press the NEXT key to display HEAD RESISTOR.
Head Resistance
Setting the Head Resistance Value
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 head resistance value.)
Before replacing a printhead, look on the bottom of the new printhead for the label that shows the
resistance (ohm – ) value.
CAUTION: DO NOT set the value higher than that shown on the printhead.
Setting a higher value may damage the printhead.
HEAD RESISTOR
® 0500 OHMS +
Press the left oval key to move to the next digit position, and press the right oval key to increase the
value of the digit.
Initial Value: Factory set
Range: 0500 - 1175
Press the NEXT key to display VERIFIER PORT.
Verifier Port
Setting the Verifier Port
The Verifier Port determines how the optional verifier will interface with a Zebra printer.
This setting is factory set and should not be changed unless the factory defaults have been reloaded.
Please make a note of it! While other choices are valid, the printer must be returned to its designated
setting in order for it to work properly.
