Page 12: Gap/Black Mark Sensor Detection
4.3.1 Gap/black mark sensor detection This test aims to determine the sensitivity of the label paper sensor after the printer is turned on. When the user installs a new paper roll of a different specification or initializes the printer and restores it to the factory default value, the label paper gap sensor needs to be re-measured. - Page 13 4.3.2 Gap/black mark sensor detection, printing self-test value and entering the debugging mode This test aims to determine the sensitivity of the label paper sensor after the printer is turned on. When the user installs a new paper roll of a different specification or initializes the printer and restores it to the factory default value, the label paper gap sensor needs to be re-measured.
- Page 14 Self test When the sensor calibration is completed, the printer prints out the self-test value. Before connecting the printer to your computer, you can use self-test to confirm that the printer is functioning properly. The printed self-test value can be used to check the printing quality of the print head and to know the internal settings of the printer.
- Page 15 Debugging mode After the self-test is printed, the printer system enters the debugging mode. In the debugging mode, all roll labels will be printed in machine code. The ASCII strings on the left are the data received by the system. The data on the right are printed from the strings on the left, in hexadecimal values. This function is provided for users or engineers to debug programs.
