Every time the printer is turned ON, the power-ON self test is conducted following the procedure stated below.

1)Tests all the DRAMs on the video controller. Error found here will be displayed in the LCD as a service call.

2)Tests the program ROM, font ROM and optional ROM. Error found here will be displayed in the LCD as a service call.

3)Checks inside of the CPU. Error found here will be displayed in the LCD as a service call.
