The Pattern Category contains several predefined print patterns used to test basic printer
functionality. There are three parameters in this category: Print, Print2, and Plot.
This parameter is also available in normal menu operations. It has five selections.
Upper Prints a rolling pattern of 63 UPPERCASE ASCII characters.
All Chrs Prints all Character Sets available on your printer.
63/69 Prints rolling ASCII with spaces.
ECMA Prints pattern designed to produce a specific audible noise pattern specified by
European Computer Manufacturers Association used for acoustics testing.
Columns This test labels each column in the current print line. The line length used is
based on the current margin settings.
To stop any of the above tests, depress the ENTER Key or the CLEAR Key.
This parameter is available in Tech Access only. It has 11 print test selections.
Except for the 1 Line test all of the tests below run continuously. They will continue to run
until you depress either the ENTER Key or the CLEAR Key.
PaperSv This option provides a means of completing long-term testing of the printer
without wasting large amounts of paper. It prints a pattern of all uppercase
characters that is advanced by one character on each line. Each pass is four lines
long. The printer then backs up three lines and prints another four line pass. The
printer then continues printing in this fashion until it makes 30 passes. On the
30th pass the printer does not back up.
ThermCy This option prints the PaperSv pattern for 15 minutes, stops printing for five
minutes, then starts the cycle over. It is used to test the temperature cycling
abilities of the printer.
Lower This option prints a rolling pattern of all 95 lowercase ASCII characters.
1 Line This option prints one line only of upper-and lowercase characters.
All H's This option prints lines composed of the uppercase letter H.
All E's This option prints lines composed of the uppercase letter E.
All #'s This option prints lines composed of the # symbol.
All +'s This option prints lines composed of the + sign.
Parens This option prints lines composed of the left paren followed by a vertical bar
followed by the right paren.
