Printer Self-Test; Operation Guidelines - Intermec PK80 Quick Start Manual

Printer Self-Test

A Self-Test is performed by pressing and holding the Forward
button through a form feed (more than five lines). If it is still
held down at the end of the form feed, it prints a self-test.
The result of the Self-Test is a one page report which is helpful
when diagnosing and troubleshooting printer problems.
Refer to the PK80 Series 80-Column Printer User's Manual p/n:
961-018-004 for a complete description of the Self-Test report.
