Using Testmode and Extended Testmode to Troubleshoot

printer settings, print test labels, restore factory default settings, or
enter Dump mode to troubleshoot. Testmode is a simple linear
sequence which requires little user input. Extended Testmode gives
you more options.
Using Testmode
Testmode is a simple linear sequence which requires little user input.
To use Testmode
1 Turn off the printer.

Media” on page 11 and “Loading Thermal Transfer Ribbon”
on page 16.

Power switch. After approximately ten seconds, the printer screen
lights up, runs a media setup routine, enters Testmode, and three
of the LEDs start to flash one at a time (green, red, and then blue).

through the selectable media types: gap, mark and continuous.

type of media appears on the screen.
