ESim v5.12 for EasyCoder PD4—Programmer’s Reference Manual 3
Chapter 1—General Information
Test Label
e best way to start programming is to find out how the printer is set
up. If you have an EasyCoder PD4 with a display, you can browse the
Setup Mode and see some parameters, but the most comprehensive infor-
mation is obtained by printing the test labels.
To print test labels:
• Switch off the power to the printer.
• For best result, load the printer with full width labels or tags.
• Hold down the
Feed key and turn on the power again.
• Release the
Feed key within 3 seconds.
• e printer emits a beep and “Self test” is shown in the display, if any.
• A single test label is printed.
• After the test label has been printed, the printer automatically enters
the Direct Mode.
