PAUSE Self Test
This self test can be used to provide the test labels required when making adjustments to the
print engine’s mechanical assemblies or to determine if any printhead elements are not
working.
Figure 14 shows a sample printout.
To perform a PAUSE self test, complete these steps:
1. Turn off (O) the print engine.
2. Press and hold PAUSE while turning on (I) the print engine. Hold PAUSE until the first
control panel light turns off.
• The initial self test prints 15 labels at the print engine’s slowest speed, and then
automatically pauses the print engine. Each time PAUSE is pressed, an additional 15
labels print.
Figure 14 shows a sample of the labels.

• While the print engine is paused, pressing CANCEL alters the self test. Each time
PAUSE is pressed, 15 labels print at 6
in. (152 mm) per second.
• While the print engine is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a second
time. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 50 labels print at the print engine’s slowest speed
• While the print engine is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a third
time. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 50 labels print at 6
in. (152 mm) per second.
• While the print engine is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a fourth
time. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 15 labels print at the print engine’s maximum
speed.
