PAUSE Key Self Test
Press and hold the PAUSE key while turning the printer power ON. Release the key anytime after the
first front panel LED turns OFF.
This self test is actually comprised of four individual test features:
1. The initial self test prints 15 labels at 2" (5.08 cm) per second, then automatically pauses the
printer. Each time the PAUSE key is pressed, an additional 15 labels print.
2. While the printer is paused, alter the self test by pressing the CANCEL key once. Now each time
the PAUSE key is pressed, the printer prints 15 labels at 6" (15.24 cm) per second.
3. While the printer is paused, alter the self test a second time by pressing the CANCEL key once.
Now each time the PAUSE key is pressed, the printer prints 50 labels at 2" (5.08 cm) per second.
4. While the printer is paused, alter the self test a third time by pressing the CANCEL key once.
Now each time the PAUSE key is pressed, the printer prints 50 labels at 6" (15.24 cm) per
second.
5. While the printer is paused, alter the self test a fourth time by pressing the CANCEL key once.
Now each time the PAUSE key is pressed, the printer prints 15 labels at the maximum speed of
the printer.
This self test can be used to provide the test labels required when making adjustments to the printer’s
mechanical assemblies. See Figure 17.
