Using The Printer Driver; Using The Printer's Control Panel; Printing A Self Test - Epson FX-890II User Manual

You can cancel printing from your computer by using the printer driver, or from the printer's control
panel.

Using the printer driver

To cancel a print job before it is sent from your computer, see "Cancelling Printing" on page 85.

Using the printer's control panel

Pressing the Font and Pitch buttons at the same time stops printing, clears the print job being received
from the active interface, and clears errors that may have occurred at the interface.

Printing a Self Test

Running the printer's self test helps you determine whether the printer or the computer is causing the
problem:
❏ If the self test results are satisfactory, the printer is working properly and the problem is probably
caused by your printer driver settings, application settings, computer, or interface cable. (Be sure
to use a shielded interface cable.)
❏ If the self test does not print properly, there is a problem with the printer. See "Problems and
Solutions" on page 102 for possible causes and solutions to the problem.
You can print the self test using either single sheets or continuous paper. See "Loading Continuous
Paper" on page 21 or "Loading Single Sheets" on page 44 for paper-loading instructions.
Note:
Use paper of at least the following width:
Paper type
Continuous paper
Single sheet
Follow these steps to perform a self test:
1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.
