FEED Key Self Test
The results of this self test will be used to determine the best Darkness Setting for a
specific media/ribbon combination.
See Figure 29. The FEED Key Self Test labels will print at various plus or minus
Darkness settings relative to the current darkness setting. The operator inspects these
printouts and determines which printout has the best darkness setting.
The value on that printout is added to (plus) or subtracted from (minus) the current
Darkness value.
To make the change, you need to adjust the Print Darkness (as described in Chapter 1).
1. Press the MODE Key.
2. If the value on your FEED Key Self Test Printout is a plus value, press UP the
appropriate number of times. Otherwise, press DOWN to enter a minus value.
3. Press the MODE Key three (3) times.
4. Press PAUSE.
Alternatively, increments to the actual
Darkness value can be programmed into the
label formats sent to the printer. To see the
actual value of the current darkness setting,
perform a CANCEL Key Self Test: the value
will print on the Configuration Printout.
