To check operational readiness, your
printer contains a self-test routine which
allows testing of the printer
configuration, the print quality and
correct operation of your printer.
With the interface test
(Hex-Dump/H-Dump) you can test data
transmission from the computer to the
printer. During this test, the data from the
computer is printed out in two columns.
The text in the left column is printed in
hexadecimal format and in the right
column in ASCII format.
If you set HvyForm=ON, the printer
prints the same line twice at double
strike. This setting ensures that copy
paper produces optimum results.
The Formlen function allows you to set
the basic (default) form length to meet
your requirements. 11 inches are usual
in the USA, as opposed to 12 inches in
Europe.
