TESTING
THE PRINTER
Your printer has two built-in programs that printout sample
lines of letters, numbers,
and other characters-to
show you
that everything's in good working order. Self-test 1 is the long
version, and self-test 2 is the short one. You can use either
one to show the characters available in the printer, to check
the installation
of the ribbon and paper, and to check the
adjustment
of the head-to-platen
gap.
You can print the self-test without hooking up the printer
to your computer.
Simply:
1. Plug in the printer (don't turn it on yet).
2. Insert a sheet of paper (or sprocket paper, either one).
3. While holding down one of the following keys, turn
on the power switch:
Paper Feed key-Self-Test
1 (long)
On Line key-Self-Test
2 (short)
