Troubleshooting
Print Quality Description
In-spec The in-spec bar code can only be confirmed by a verifier, but it should exhibit
some visible characteristics.
• The normal bar code will have complete, even bars and clear, distinct
spaces.
• The rotated bar code will have complete, even bars and clear, distinct
spaces. Although it may not look as good as a slightly dark bar code, the
bar code will be in-spec.
• In both normal and rotated styles, small alphanumeric characters look
complete.
Slightly light Slightly light labels are, in some cases, preferred to slightly dark ones for in-
spec bar codes.
• Both normal and rotated bar codes will be in spec, but small alphanumeric
characters may not be complete.
Too light Labels that are too light are obvious.
• Both normal and rotated bar codes have incomplete bars and spaces.
• Small alphanumeric characters are unreadable.

5. Note the relative darkness value and the print speed printed on the best test label.
6. Add or subtract the relative darkness value from the darkness value specified on the configuration
label. The resulting numeric value is the optimal darkness value for that specific label/ribbon
combination and print speed.
7. If necessary, change the darkness value to the darkness value on the selected test label.
8. If necessary, change the print speed to the same speed as on theselected test label.
FEED and PAUSE Self Test
Performing this self test resets the printer configuration to the factory default values. Perform a sensor
calibration after this self test. (See Calibrating the Ribbon and Media Sensors on page 111.)
1. Turn off (O) the printer.
2. Press and hold FEED + PAUSE while turning on (I) the printer.
3. Hold FEED + PAUSE until the first control panel light turns off.
The printer configuration is reset to the factory default values. No labels print at the end of this test.
CANCEL and PAUSE Self Test
Performing this self test resets the network configuration to the factory default values.
1. Turn off (O) the printer.
2. Press and hold CANCEL + PAUSE while turning on (I) the printer.
