6. THE TEST LABEL
Every time the printer is switched on it will print a label with a whole series of data on the status of the printer. The
following is a sample of a test label and the most important points are explained. The Programming Manual gives a
complete description of each of the values contained in the test label.

The effective print power is different to that set if the temperature control is activated. Activating the temperature
control continually regulates the printing power.
The Programming manual gives an extensive explanation of the significance of all of the above parameters.
It is advisable to keep a test label once the printer has been installed . This will be useful in the event that the printer
configuration changes for any reason and it will then be possible to reconfigure it using the information from the test
label.
