Setting the Run Time Parameters

The tests you select will run in the following manner unless you change the run time parameters:

0 Each test is performed one time (passbound)

 

tl The program waits if an error occurs

 

D No errors are recorded to the printer, disk, or other

 

device.

 

If you want to change the default run time parameters, press

.

F2 to move to the Run time parameters window. (Press Esc at

 

any time to exit and return to the submenu of diagnostic

 

tests.)

 

The first run time parameter specifies the mode in which to

 

run the test. You see this prompt:

 

Testing mode: (T)imebound / (C)ontinuous / (P)assbound ? P

In Timebound mode, the program runs the tests for the amount of time you specify; press T and then Enter.

In Continuous mode, the tests run until you interrupt them; press C and Enter.

In Passbound mode, the program runs the tests the number of times you specify. This is the default setting; press P, if necessary, and Enter to select the mode.

The next option is:

Wait on error (Y/N) ? Y

Press Y, if necessary, and Enter if you want the program to pause when an error occurs. This lets you view the error message, make note of it, and then press Enter to continue. (Y is the default setting.)
