Testfeed

The sensitivity of the label stop sensor (LSS) may need to be
adjusted when switching from one type of media to another. This
is especially the case when using adhesive labels since the
transparency of the liner (backing paper) may vary. When the
Testfeed menu is displayed, press the Enter key. A number of
blank copies will be fed out until the firmware has decided the
proper setting for the LSS. At the same time, the front edges of
the labels, tickets, etc. are detected so the feed control can
position the media according to the Feed Adjust parameter (same
as the Intermec Fingerprint statement TESTFEED). Four values
used for troubleshooting the LSS are displayed (read-only
information).

Head Resistance

The printhead resistance is measured automatically at startup
(read-only information).

to fi nd out what is wrong, for example "printhead lifted" or "out-
of paper".
