PAUSE Self Test
This self test can be used to provide the test labels required when making adjustments to the printer’s
mechanical assemblies or to determine if any printhead elements are not working. Figure 5 shows a
sample printout.
1. Turn off (O) the printer.
2. Press and hold PAUSE while turning on (I) the printer. Hold PAUSE until the first control panel light
turns off.
• The initial self test prints 15 labels at the printer’s slowest speed, and then automatically pauses the
printer. Each time PAUSE is pressed, an additional 15 labels print. Figure 5 shows a sample of the
labels.
