Self-Test Feature

The Self-Test Feature can be used to print a letter-size page test page without connection to a host computer. The test page (See page 34) contains firmware level, image quality, and configuration information.

1.To print a test page, the printer must be turned on and idle, and paper must not be loaded in the printer.

2.Press the main switch for two seconds and release to place the printer in “Service Mode”. The DATA light will illuminate red.

3.Insert a piece of Brother Genuine Thermal paper in the printer. The test page will print automatically. After the print is complete, the printer will return to an idle state.

4.To print multiple pages, repeat steps 1~3.

Note: Test pages can also be printed from the Windows based Configuration Utility provided on the CD.

Before calling Technical Support (1-800-543-6144), please attempt to print this test page to assist in problem diagnosis.
