Control Panel

Other control-panel features

The control panel also gives you access to the two special functions below.

Self

test:

Hold down the LF/FF button (for LQ printing) or the

 

 

LOAD/EJECT button (for draft printing) while turning

 

 

on the printer to perform the self test. The self test

 

 

lets you check that your printer is operating properly

 

 

and gives you a printout of the current DIP-switch

 

 

settings.

 

 

See the section on testing the printer in Chapter 1 for

 

 

more information.

Data

dump:

Hold down the LF/FF and LOAD/EJECT buttons while

 

 

turning on the printer to enter data dump mode.

 

 

Data dump mode allows advanced users to find the

 

 

cause of communication problems between the printer

 

 

and the computer.

 

 

The data dump mode is more fully explained at the

 

 

end of this chapter.
