holding down the LF/FF Load button. To run the test using

series of characters.

resume the test, press the Pause button again.

Caution:

Do not turn off the printer while it is printing the self test.
Always press the Pause button to stop printing and then
turn off the printer.

Printing a Hex Dump

If you are an experienced user or a programmer, you can print a
hexadecimal dump to isolate communication problems between
the printer and your software program. In hex dump mode, the
printer prints all data it receives from the computer as
hexadecimal values.
Note:
The Hex Dump feature is designed for use with a DOS-based PC.
