Selecting Other Facilities
As an alternative to selecting an application, you can step through
a number of other useful facilities:
Setup
Set up the printer using its built-in keyboard, see Chapter 7,
“Setup Mode.”
Print Setup
Produce a printout of the printer’s current setup values (test label
“Setup Info”).
Testfeed
Feed out a number of label, ticket, tag, or portions of continuous
stockwhile the printer auto-adjusts its media feed and label stop/
black marksensor. It is recommended to perform a Testfeed each
time you load a roll of labels from a new batch or a different
brand.
Test Label
Print a series of four test labels (test labels “Diamonds”, “Chess”,
“Bar Codes #1”, and Bar Codes #2”) in order to test the printout
quality and printhead alignment. The labels are presented in an
infi nite loop, so you can print the series over and over again.
Press <Enter> for each new label.
Default Setup
Reset all setup parameters to their default values, as listed in
Chapter 6, “Setting Up the Printer.”
Software Update
Using the Zmodem communication tool, files can be
downloaded from a PC, either to be stored on a standard
CompactFlash memory card or to upgrade the printer’s firmware.
The following options are available:
Note: When an application program is started, it may
automatically change the communication setup. If another
application is selected later, this communication setup will remain
valid, unless the new application includes instructions that
automatically change the setup. The setup could also be changed
manually in the Setup Mode.
