Test Prints
Once the Printhead/Wax system is primed, it is recommended that
some test printing be preformed. A test pattern is embedded in the
firmware that will fire all 31 nozzles. Product detect and Printhead
timing pulses are still required to perform a test print.
1. To perform a test print without using an encoder, set following
parameters to the values indicated.
•
WIDTH 20
•
BOLD 2
•
ENCODER N
•
DELAY 500
2. Set Switch #4 of SW2 of the CPU PCB to the DOWN position.
3. Select TE command on hand held terminal. Do not press
ENTER after inputting TE.
4. Pass a sample card past the Printhead after triggering the
photocell. Repeat process until you have a feel for the proper
speed to pass the sample card.
5. Test pattern print will look similar to figure 6-8.
6. Once you have determined that all nozzles are firing properly,
reset parameters and switches to proper application
configuration.
7. Monitor print operations until WAX LOW is detected, then
follow Wax Refill procedures outlined in Service section.
