4.3.4 Dot Test Pattern Label
The Dot Test Pattern Label features patterns that exercise all of the thermal
elements (dots) of the printhead. The resulting label (see examples below) can
be an indication of the printhead’s condition. To print a Dot Test Pattern Label:
Press the key.
Use the key to scroll to ‘Dot Test Pattern’.
Use the key to select a quantity; see Section 4.0.3.
Press the key to start printing.
Good Test Pattern Label:
An even print pattern
indicates that the printhead
is operating correctly.
Faulty Test Pattern Label:
Streaking in the print
pattern typically indicates a
dirty printhead. In this case,
see Section 5.2.1 for
cleaning instructions.
