1.Make sure the appropriate supplies are properly loaded, that power is ON, and that the Top Cover and Cutter Door are shut.

2.Repeatedly press the "Menu" button on the control panel until the LCD reads:

3.Press the ENTER button on Press's Control Panel.

4.Press MENU again to cycle through the three types of self-tests. MONO RESIN is the self test for #300 Series Monochrome ribbon and #300 Series Vinyl. 3 COLOR RESIN is the self test for the #300 Series 3-Color Paneled Resin Ribbon and #300 Series Vinyl. 3 COLOR DYE SUB is the test for the #200 Series 3- Color Paneled Dye Sublimation ribbon with the #200 Series Dye Sublimation Adhesive Backed Receiver media.
