Understanding Test Mode
Use Test mode to verify printer settings, print tes t labels, restore
factory default settings, or enter Dump mode for tr oubleshooting
purposes. Two test modes are available: Test mode and Extended Test
mode.
Using Test Mode
Test mode is a simple sequence of events which requires little user
interaction. Extended Test mode requires more user interaction and
lets you choose which actions you want the printer to perform.
To enter Test mode
1 Make sure the printer is in Ready mode and is loade d with media.
2 Press the Feed and Standby buttons at the same time and hold
until Select Media appears on the screen and it displays the type of
media you are using.
3 Release both buttons. The printer performs a test feed (sensor
calibration), prints a series of test labels, and t hen enters Dump
mode.
The printer is now in Dump mode and it scans the
communication ports. Any characters received on the
communication ports are printed.
4 Press Feed to exit Dump mode.
After you exit Dump mode, the printer returns to Re ady mode. For
more information on Dump mode, see “Troubleshooting
Communication Problems” on page 46
