Testing the Slip and Receipt Stations

These functions allow you to select various tests to check slip and receipt printing. It is the
only way to run the print test on the slip station. You can also run a print test on the receipt
station without changing the DIP switches by following the procedures in "Print Test" later
in this chapter.
Print Sample Check Via Feed Button
This test prints a sample check. Because blank checks are not all laid out the same, the
information may not line up perfectly on the blank check you use.
Caution: The DIP switches are pre-set at the factory and should generally not be changed.
If you must change them, do so carefully to avoid changing other functions.
