By holding down a certain button while you turn on the printer, you can perform the self test in draft or LQ mode, or you can print out a list of the current DIP-switch settings. These buttons are listed below:

LOAD/EJECT

Draft mode self test

LF/FF

LQ mode self test

ALT

DIP-switch setting list

The self test begins by printing on the first and last lines of page 1. The printer then prints the character samples on page 2.

If you select LQ mode, the printer prints the self test in every font, in turn.

1.Make sure the printer is turned off and that the paper-release lever is in the single-sheet position.

2.While holding down the appropriate button, turn on the printer. The printer beeps and the platen turns for a few seconds, signaling that the printer is in self-test mode.
