Operational Verification; Power-On Self-Test; Demonstration Plot - HP 650C User Manual

OPERATIONAL VERIFICATION

DesignJet 650C plotters contain several types of internal operational checks and tests to en-
sure that the plotter is properly functioning and to help identify problems if any are detected.

POWER-ON SELF-TEST

Whenever the plotter is switched ON, it automatically performs a series of internal self-tests
and initialization sequences which check the basic electrical and mechanical functions of the
plotter. Among the items checked are the processors, motors and sensors. If an error is de-
tected, a message or system error code will be visible in the front panel display. Error codes
and messages are presented in Chapter 8 of this manual. Self tests are listed in Chapter 8.
