25. TEST MODE
25.1
Description
The Test Mode comes in two versions;
• A limited test mode for EasyCoder/EasyPak 501.
• A full test mode for EasyCoder/EasyPak 501 E and EasyCoder/
EasyPak 501 SA.
You can enter the full test mode on an EasyCoder 501 or EasyPak
501 if a special Service GAL circuit is fitted on IC-700 on the CPU
board and a Service Keyboard is connected to P-2, replacing the
existing keyboard.
The Service GAL and the Service Keyboard come as a kit, article
number 1-501660-00. The kit is recommended for service of Easy-
Pak 501 printers and EasyCoder 501 printers without UBI Shell
installed (customized applications) and facilitates LSS adjustment
and communication reset.
The limited Test Mode for EasyCoder/EasyPak 501 allows a series
of test labels to be printed (see chapter 24.1). Enter the mode as
follows (also see diagram on next page):
• Turn off the printer.
• Lift the printhead.
• Press the < Print > key and keep pressing it.
• Turn on the power. Keep on pressing < Print >.
• Wait a few moments until this message appears in the display:
PRINT TEST LABEL
Lower head!
• Release the < Print > key and lower the printhead to “Print”
position.
• This message appears:
<PRINT> = PRINT
Lift head = EXIT
• Press the < Print > key. Each time the key is pressed, a new test
label is printed in a loop.
• To exit, lift the printhead and press < Print >.
• Turn off the power.
• Restart the printer as usual.
