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 Enter. 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).

Testprint

The test labels "Diamonds", "Chess", "Bar Codes #1", and "Bar
Codes" are used to check the printout quality and facilitate
adjustment of the printhead pressure, see
on page 131. The test labels "Setup Info" and "Hardware info"
list the printer's current setup and the installed electronic devices.
Test label "Network Info" is only printed if the printer has an
optional EasyLAN interface board. If the information does not
fit on one label, two or more labels will be printed. If the printer
refuses to print a test label, press F5/i to find out what is wrong,
for example "printhead lifted" or "out-of paper".
