Test Printhead

This test verifies that the individual printhead impact wires and the controlling electronics are operating properly. It may be used to identify the cause if dots are missing on the print out. In this test, one complete line is printed using each wire in the printhead. The wire is noted in the test print out.

NOTE

To prevent print off the page, 80 column paper should be used for this test.
