2.While holding down the FONT button, turn on the printer. (Hold down the button until the printer starts working; it takes a few seconds,) It loads a sheet of paper automatically from the paper feeder and begins the self test.

The printer prints characters in each font, in the order the fonts appear on the control panel. Here is part of a typical self test:

Courier

!“#$%&I()*+,-./0123456789:; <=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:; <=>'?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS "#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:; <=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTl
