code symbols, starting with four and decrementing by
one symbol on each print until a single symbol prints
on the left side. This pattern helps identify ribbon
wrinkle problems.

Barcode Demo
Prints text and barcodes with the barcodes positioned
at the left and right margins of the standard label media
supplied with the printer. The test automatically
produces output for 4, 6, and 8 inch printers at 203 dpi
and 300 dpi.
NOTE: Since this test is designed to prove ODV is
working, the printer is automatically put ONLINE
before printing begins.
