Power On Self Test
A Power On Self Test (POST) is performed 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
ensure proper operation. At the end of this self test, only the POWER light
will remain lit. If other lights are also lit, refer to the Troubleshooting Sec-
tion .
Printer Self Tests
Introduction
These self tests produce sample labels and provide specific information
that helps determine the operating conditions for the printer.
Each self test is enabled by holding in a specific Front Panel key or
combination of keys while turning the Power Switch ON. Keep the key
depressed until the Front Panel Lights turn ON.
When the Power On Self Test is completed, the selected self test auto-
matically starts.
Notes: When performing self tests, all data interface cables connected
to the rear of the printer must be removed.
When canceling a self test before its actual completion, always
turn the printer Power OFF and then back ON to reset the
printer.
When performing these self tests in the Peel-Off Mode, the
operator must remove the labels as they become available.
Unless specifically stated, all tests print in Tear-Off mode in
Tear-Off printers and in Peel-Off Mode for Peel and Rewind
printers.
