Diagnostic Functions

The printer diagnostic functions are Self-Test page, hex-dump mode and print alignment adjustment.
Self-Test page: Tells you whether the printer hardware is functioning correctly. If the printer hardware
•
is functional, any problems you are having are probably caused by incorrect printer settings, incorrect
software settings, the interface, or the computer.
HEX-DUMP MODE: Allows you to determine whether the computer is sending the correct commands
•
to the printer, and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. This function is useful to
programmers or others who understand how to interpret hex dumps.
PRINTING ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT: Allows you to check and, if necessary, correct the printer's
•
vertical line print alignment in bi-directional mode.
For details on using these functions, please refer to chapters 4 and 5.
