Running the self test
The self test prints out the settings of the printer’s DIP switches
and the characters in the printer’s memory. The test can be run in
either draft,, high-speed draft, or near letter quality (NLQ) mode.
Your printer’s default setting is high-speed draft mode. To run the
self test in high-speed draft mode, follow these steps:
Caution: Always use paper that is at least 15 inches wide
when running the printer’s self test.
1.
While holding down the LINE FEED button, turn on the printer.
After printing starts, release the button.
A list of your printer’s settings is printed first, followed by a
series of characters. Here is part of a typical self test printout
in high-speed draft.
2.
The self test continues until the paper runs out or until you
press the ON LINE button. If the test results are satisfactory and
you wish to stop the test, press the ON LINE button to take the
printer off line, and then turn off the printer.
