SELF-TEST
The "self-test" is a trial run of your beautiful new machine.
SD-lo/l 5 carries a built-in program that prints out sample lines
of letters, numbers,
and other characters
- to show you that
everything's in good working order. It also serves as a display
of the characters
available in the SD-lo/l 5. And finally, it's a
"warm-up" that permits you to check your installation
of ribbon
and paper, and the adjustment
of the print head gap.
Best of all, you don't have to wait another minute - you can
print the self-test without
hooking
up the SD-lo/l5
to your
computer!
It's as simple as 1, 2, 3...
1. Plug the printer's power cord into an electrical outlet.
2. Insert a sheet of paper (or sprocket paper, either one).
3. While holding down the LF button, turn the power
switch
on.
Were you surprised? It's speedy, isn't it? 16O.characters a second,
to be exact (when printing normal pica type).
