15) HEAD CHK
Perform in case the printhead is abnormal. It can guess whether the failure cause is the printhead or not.
MEMO:
As the printhead and thermistor are high temperature after printing immediately, perform this mode after 5 minutes or more printing is completed.
Display the value (analogue) detected by the printhead, the thermistor on the carriage PCB, DI sensor (Di0/Di1) and head Vh.
Check whether the detection value is normal or not to judge the abnormal part.
Press the / key to select the item, and then press the key to display the detection value.

<CHECK>
Judge the failure part by comparing the temperature of the printhead and the value detected by thermistor on the carriage PCB.
T-7-1
*: Adequate temperature ranges when the surrounding temperature (temperature/humidity sensor detection value) of the printer is 25 degrees centigrade. For ex-
ample, when the surrounding temperature is 30 degrees centigrade, above temperatures rise each 5 degrees centigrade.
e) REPLACE
1) CUTTER
This mode is for replacing the cutter.
f) COUNTER
Displays the life (operation frequency and time) of each unit, print counts for each media type, and else.
The count values can be printed from [PRINT INF].
