Test Pattern - Epson LX-86TM User Manual

Test Pattern

Now you'll see your Lx-86 print something even though it's not
connected to a computer yet. Make sure that your printer has paper in it
and that the power switch is off. Now, hold down the LINE FEED button
on the control panel while you turn the printer on with the power switch.
The Lx-86 will begin printing all the letters, numbers and other
characters that are stored in its ROM (Read Only Memory) for the draft
mode. When the printing starts, you can release the LINE FEED button;
the printing will continue until you turn the printer off or until the print
head gets near the end of the page. To see the same test in the NLQ (Near
Letter Quality) mode, turn the printer on while holding down the
FORM FEED button. Partial results of both tests are shown in Figure
