3.4- SPECIAL MODES
Apart from the normal printing mode, where all the data received by the printer is
printed according to the adjustments or conditions set by the commands also received
and processed, the TK41 allows three
SPECIAL MODES
which must be set at the
moment of turning on the printer.
3.4.1- SELF-TEST MODE
The printer has a self-test function that checks the following:
•
Interface version.
•
Printer mechanism which is connected to the printer interface.
•
Serial interface operating conditions.
•
Printing speed.
•
Print density.
•
Selected font.
•
Character scale.
•
Character spacing.
•
Line Spacing.
•
Status of the Black Mark sensor.
•
Status of the CR command function (See point
4.CONTROL COMMANDS
).
Starting the self-test mode:
To start the self-test on a paper roll, turn off the printer, and hold down the PFEED
button then turn on the printer. Then the current printer status is printed.
After printing the current printer status, the printer continuously prints a sample text of
different sizes until the PFEED button is released.
While printing this sample text, two features of the TK41 can be checked:
•
Idea of its printing speed.
•
Comparison of different character sizes.
When the PFEED button is released, the printer stops printing and cuts the ticket.
