4.12 PRINT TEST PATTERN
The fill printing state of each head can be confirmed by printing a test pattern.
Label material (media) with a width of 130 mm width is required.
• Set three types of ink ribbon and set the ribbon bar. If 3-type ink ribbons are not set, the Print Test
Pattern cannot be run.
• Print after winding-up until the transparent film section of the ink ribbon cannot be seen.
• There are cases where printing is faint and not uniform immediately after setting the ink ribbon. In
that case, run another test pattern.
• Before running the test pattern, set the PRINTING DENSITY. (Refer to "4.9 PRINTING DENSITY".)
• The head position shift is adjusted under HEAD POSITION ADJUSTMENT (Refer to "4.15 HEAD
POSITION ADJUSTMENT".)
