Setting Up the Printer

Testing the Printer

Run this test to check the printer. The test prints the settings for several functions, prints all variations of the character sets, and partially cuts the paper between each variation. See the “Diagnostics” chapter for a description of the functions.

A sample printout (RS-232C) is shown later in this section. The printouts for other models models are similar. The test ends with a partial cut, then begins again. Several feet of paper can be used to print one pass of the test.

Additional diagnostic tests may be performed by a trained service representative. For more information, see “Diagnostics” later in this book.
