To switch between different Barcode or Normal Head Check modes, set DSW7 to ON (for Barcode
checking) or OFF (for Normal checking) and then enter the Factory Clear Mode (Head-open +
FEED + POWER ON). Follow the flow chart below for checking the print head.
Note that the Barcode head check only applies to barcodes printed via the ESC+B, ESC+D, ESC_BD
commands. The head check is not effective in cases where barcodes are created as graphics. In
previous models, the the head check parameter can be only adjusted when clear counter
ALL was selected. The CT4i series does not have this restriction, and the head check parameter is
independent of the clear counter ALL setting.
