Diagnostics

The Multi–Platform Interface Feature has its own built-in diagnostics programs to help you verify that the printer and the MPI are operating properly.

Diagnostic Header

Each diagnostic test prints a header that displays the firmware part number, revision level, and the controller board option switch settings. For example:

IBM 6400 Multi-Platform Interface

ROM=CI-1717 CHECKSUM - 7108 PREDICTED, 7108 ACTUAL COPYRIGHT 1995

note

Wait several seconds after powering on for the selected diagnostic to start.
