button is pressed, the
printer will enter the short self-test mode, with the "PI" message on the LCD
display. The printer will print the version number of the printer's ROM,

Each line will be offset by one character from the one before it. The final
result will be something like Figure 4-3.

Since the self-test prints across the full width of the carriage, itisrecom-
