Selecting 'PRINTER' transfers to the 'Printer test.' screen. This invites a user to use a
printer to test the interface (e.g. by switching the printer off-line, or removing the paper),
and reports on the status of the printer:
Printer test.
Use a printer to test interface.
Press EXIT to stop printout.

Note: If the printer is disabled (Config mode — Volume 1, Section 3, paras 3.3.2.5),
the printer will not be set up when starting to print for the first time.
The possible responses are shown on the diagram. They are updated automatically as
the printer status changes. When operating correctly, the printer will print a character-
set continuously until the EXIT screen key is pressed.
If the reported status of the printer interface does not match the known physical status,
then this implies a failure. It is possible to diagnose the defect source by checking a
second printer unit on the same 9100, or the same printer unit on a different 9100.
Rectification may require access to the internal circuitry of the 9100 or printer unit, so
no further user action is recommended, except for obvious setup errors. Otherwise it is
advisable to report the result to your Fluke Service Center.
