making adjustments to the printer’s mechanical assemblies. See the
sampleprintoutinFigure3.3.
FEED Key Self Test
The CANCEL Key Self Test should be performed before this self test.
Information on the “Configuration” printout (CANCEL Key Self Test)
can be used with the results of this self test to determine the best
Darkness setting for a specific media/ribbon combination.
The FEED Key Self Test will print out at various Darkness settings
above and below that of the Darkness value shown on the Configuration
Label. Inspect these labels and determine which one has the best
darkness setting for the application. This value can be entered into the
printer by setting the Darkness during the configuration procedure.
The value printed on that label is added
to (plus) or subtracted from (minus) the
“Darkness” value specified on the Con-
figuration Label. The resulting numeric
value (0 to 30) is the best darkness
value for that specific media/ribbon
combination.
Optionally, the Darkness value can be
programmed into the ZPL II formats
sent to the printer.
