Self Test/Battery Test

If a Printer problem is suspected, or to check the Printer Batteries, perform
the following Steps:
Step 1 Turn the Printer Power Switch to OFF
Step 2 Hold down the Paper Advance Button
Step 3 Turn the Printer Power Switch to ON
Step 4 Release the Paper Advance Button
The Printer will perform a self test by printing the entire character set. The
battery status will print immediately following the character print test and
will be indicated by BAT:5 (new) to BAT:0 (replace).
Note
Most printing problems are the result of
misalignment of the Optical Receiver of the
Printer and the Optical Transmitter of the
System.
