printed.

To temporarily stop the self test, press the Pause button. To resume
the test, press the Pause button again.

If paper remains in the printer, press the Load/Eject button
to eject the printed page. Then turn off the printer.
Caution:

Load/Eject button to eject the printed page before you turn
off the printer.

Printing Hex Dump

If you are an experienced user or a programmer, you can print a
hexadecimal dump to isolate communication problems between
the printer and your software program. In hex dump mode, the
printer prints all data it receives from the computer as
hexadecimal values.
