Dottest for application with endless label stock.
This function prints a pattern which enables trained personnel to check the
adjustment as well as the function of the printhead.
Only in supervisor mode:
If no dot check has been proceeded (by calling the parameter
SERVICE FUNCTION > Head dot test
) since powering on the printer, a test is started
before printing the status report. Depending on the result, one of the following
messages is printed on the bottom margin of the label:
•
"All print dots o.k."
•
"x print dots defective"
64-08 printers don´t proceed this dot check automatically, because this
would be very time consuming. The printout shows the message:
•
"Head Dot Test not yet executed"
If a dot test has already been performed since powering on the printer, the
above showed messages are also displayed at 64-08 printers after proceed-
ing a "Dottest endless“ or „Dottest punched".

Test pattern
The „Dottest endless“ or „Dottest punched“ prints a pattern consisting of 33
rows filled with vertical lines on the upper label area. All lines have a constant
distance of 4 dot. With every new row, the line pattern is shifted one dot. The
resulting line-pattern repeats every four rows.
The test pattern shows missing dots clearly as white vertical lines running
through the pattern.
The lower label area is filled with testpatterns, which are kept close to those
used by Kyocera. The patterns are useful for printout comparison.
The bars underneath the test pattern allow the adjustment of the different
zero lines.
