Testing the printer
Short test
A short test prints out the version number of the soft-
ware contained
in the printer's ROM, followed by seven
lines of text. Each line is offset by one character from
the line above. If the color ribbon is in use, each line will
be printed in a different color.
To perform a short test, power up the printer while hold-
ing down the [READY] key. The test print out should
appear as shown below.
Note:
This test prints across the entire width of the carriage. It is a
good idea to make sure that the printer is loaded with the
widest possible paper available to avoid the possibility of
damage to the print head or the platen.
Long test
A long test prints out the version number of the software
in the printer's ROM, followed by the current Electronic
DIP Switch settings, the current vertical alignment
adjustment
settings and the complete character set in
each available font and pitch setting. The printer prints
this sequence repeatedly
until powered off.
To perform a long test, power up the printer while hold-
ing down the [PAPER] key.
