Printer Diagnostics
Self tests give information about the condition of the printer. The most commonly used
are the Power-On and the
CANCEL self test.
Power-On Self Test
The Power-On Self Test (POST) is performed automatically each time the printer is
turned on. During either test sequence, the front panel LEDs light up and the LCD
monitors the progress of the POST. If the printer fails any of these tests,
FAILED
shows
on the LCD. If this occurs, notify an authorized Brady distributor.
Additional Printer Self Tests
These self tests produce sample printouts and provide specific information that help
determine the operating conditions for the printer.
Each self test is enabled by pressing a specific front panel key or combination of keys
while turning the power On (
I ) .
Keep the key(s) depressed until the
DATA
light turns
off. When the POST is complete, the selected self test starts automatically.
Caution • Be sure that the print width is set to match the label width you are
using before running any self tests. If the labels are not wide enough, the test may
print on the platen roller and damage it.
Note •
When performing a self test, do not send a label format to the printer. For
remote hosts, disconnect all data interface cables from the printer. For printers in
Peel-Off Mode, remove the labels as they come out of the printer.
