2.8 Self Test
The printer is able to perform an internal self-check routine followed by a self test
printout.
There are two different self test modes:
- Demonstration Test
To execute this procedure, simply keep the "LINE FEED" push-button pressed while
the printer is powered up. The test procedure prints the first page where general infor-
mation about MP 2000 is given and the second page showing the different fonts.
- Continuous Alphanumeric Test
To execute this selftest, it is necessary to keep the BACKFEED push-button pressed
while powering up the printer. The test produces a printout of the current software
version, followed by printing all the characters from 20hex and 7Fhex, each followed
by a space (40 characters per line, 66 lines per page).
