TESTING THE PRINTER

TESTING THE PRINTER
Test the printer to ensure that it is running properly. The sample on the
following page shows what a printout of the test may look like. The test pattern
varies depending on the printer model and the character set selected when the
printer was ordered.
Run the test after loading the paper, but before connecting it to a host system.
If the characters do not print properly or ink is smudged on the paper, check to
make sure the paper and ribbon are installed correctly. If you are still having
problems, please refer to "Correcting Problems" on page 64.
If the printer is still not working correctly, contact your dealer or the Technical
Support Department at TransAct Technologies' Ithaca facility. For more
information, see "Contacting TransAct Technologies' Ithaca Facility" on page
2.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the RESUME button while turning on the printer.
When the printer starts printing, let go of the RESUME button.
Some technical information is printed before the character set. This
information identifies the part number and date of the printer's firmware.
If the character set is incomplete or does not look at all like the sample,
contact your dealer or the Technical Support Department at TransAct
Technologies' Ithaca facility. Please refer to "Contacting TransAct
Technologies' Ithaca Facility" on page 2.
