The results of this self test are used to determine the best darkness setting
for a specific media/ribbon combination. Refer to Figure 29.
1. Press the FEED button while
turning on the printer.
2. Release the button when the
front panel LEDs turn on.
3. To return to printing mode,
turn off and then turn on the
printer.
To adjust print darkness, see
“Print Quality Adjustments” on
page 38.
NOTE: The FEED Key Self Test labels print at various plus or
minus darkness settings relative to the current darkness setting.
Inspect these printouts and determine which printout has the best
darkness setting.
NOTE: The value on that printout is added to (plus) or subtracted
from (minus) the current darkness value. (For example, relative
darkness is “5,” so add that to the number on the current
configuration label [see the next note] for the new darkness
setting.)
NOTE: 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 prints on the configuration printout.
