Diagnostics

This section discusses diagnostics at power-on and how to do the printer test.

Power-On Diagnostics

The following tests are performed when the printer is turned On.
• RAM Test
• Font ROM/Microcode Sum Test
• Timer/Interrupt Controller Test
• NVRAM Test
• Switch Scan Test of the operator panel
• Carrier Initialization
• Paper Feed Initialization
If any errors occur during the tests, a combination of blinking LEDs indicate
which test failed.

Printer Test

You can run a Printer Test to aid in problem determination. In addition to the
normal power-on internal tests (see "Power-On Diagnostics" on page 15), the
printer test generates a sample printout.
This test printout can be printed either with or without connecting the printer to
your computer.
