Run A Barcode Demo Test
IMPORTANT
Printronix recommends using the supplied starter roll of 100
labels to set up and verify printer operation. If you have an
SL5000r, this will avoid expending the more expensive smart
labels for this task.
Before you send an actual print job, run a barcode demo test:
1. Press the PAUSE key until OFFLINE displays.
2. Press TEST PRINT until Printer Tests / Barcode Demo
displays.
3. Press
. The Barcode Demo test pattern will start and print two
barcodes.
4. Check the test pattern. If necessary, reposition the pressure
blocks to obtain a uniform print quality. In most cases, you will
need to adjust only the right pressure block.
5. If desired, you can run additional printer tests, such as Grey,
Grid, and Checkerboard. See step 1 above to start other tests.
NOTE: These tests run continuously by default. Press
to end the
test.
