A Power-On Self Test (POST) is performed each time the printer is turned
ON. This test checks for proper initialization of various electronic circuits
and establishes starting parameters as those stored in the printer’s memory.
During this test sequence, the front panel lights turn ON and OFF to ensure
proper operation. At the end of this self test, only the POWER light
remains lit. If other lights are also lit, refer to “Troubleshooting”
beginning on page 65.

These self tests produce sample labels and provide specific information
that helps determine the operating conditions for the printer.
Each self test is enabled by holding in a specific front panel key or
combination of keys while turning the power switch ON. Keep the key
depressed until the front panel lights turn ON.
When the Power-On Self Test is completed, the selected self test
automatically starts.
Note: When performing self tests, all data interface cables connected to
the rear of the printer must be removed.
When canceling a self test before its actual completion, always
turn the printer power OFF and then back ON to reset the printer.
When performing these self tests in the peel-off mode, the
operator must remove the labels as they become available.
Unless specifically stated, all tests print in tear-off mode in tear-
off printers and in peel-off mode for peel and rewind printers.
If your media is not wide enough, the test labels only print out to
the edge of the label. If your media is too short, the test label
continues printing on the next label.
