PQ-6 PLUS (RO)

Self-Test

After running the power test successfully, you can run the self-test to check the PQ-6 PLUS (RO) program memory (ROM) and buffer memory (RAM). You can perform the self-test via two different methods: internal DIP switches or the front-panel test button. Either way, the printer will print the software revision level, address selected, and printer emulated. The self-test will also send a printed barber-pole test pattern to the printer. The amount of data in the barber pole is different between the two types of self-tests. The self-test procedures and device response are shown in Table 3-5. Figure 3-1illustrates a sample of a self-test printout.
