Pitch
This label is a gray scale printout of every third dot. The test label should
present a regular pattern with dots that line up diagonally when held at an
angle. Look for irregularities that may signal a problem with the platen roller
or the media path. If the printhead is uneven or the print path is skewed, it will
be reflected in this label. Use this label to determine whether the printhead is
printing evenly, but use the actual customer format to pass/fail the printhead.
