Power-On Self Test
A Power-On Self Test (POST) is performed automatically each time the printer
is turned on. This test checks for proper initialization of various electronic
circuits and establishes starting parameters as those stored in the printer’s
memory. During this test sequence, the front panel lights will turn on and off to
insure proper operation.
At the end of this self test, only the POWER LED will remain lit. If other
LEDs are also lit, refer to the troubleshooting table.
Additional Printer Self Tests
These self tests produce sample labels and provide specific information that
help the operator determine the operating conditions for the printer.
Each self test is enabled by holding in a specific front panel button while
turning the power switch on. Keep the button depressed until the
CALIBRATE LED goes out. When the Power-On Self Test is complete,
the selected printer self test will automatically start. To return to printing
mode, turn off and then turn on the printer.
NOTES:
When performing self tests, disconnect all communications interface
cables from the printer.
When canceling a self test before its actual completion, always turn the
printer power switch off and back on.
When performing these self tests while in the Peel-Off mode, the
operator must remove the labels as they become available.
When the cutter option is installed and enabled, the labels printed in
these self tests should be automatically cut as they are printed.
