Running The Self Test - Epson LQ-850 User Manual

Running the self test

You are now ready to start the printer's self test. This prints out
the settings of the printer's DIP switches and the characters in the
printer's memory. The DIP switch settings are explained later in this
guide. This test can be performed in either of the LQ's two printing
modes: draft or LQ (Letter Quality). No matter which printing mode
you run the test in, the DIP switch settings are always printed in
draft. The self test is 11 inches wide on the LQ-950 and 14 inches
wide on the LQ-1050. Be sure to use wide paper.
To run the self test in draft mode follow these steps:
1. See that the printer is turned off.
2. While holding down the LINE FEED button, turn on the printer.
After printing starts, release the LINE FEED button.
