Understanding Test Mode

Use Test mode to verify printer settings, print test labels, restore
factory default settings, or enter Dump mode for troubleshooting
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 loaded 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 then 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 Ready mode.
