A self test should now be performed to check for proper operation of the printer. The standard self test function requires only that a full-color ribbon and at least one card is installed. The standard self test function prints onto both sides of a card but does not utilize any of the printerÕs overlay capabilities. If printing with a full-color ribbon with a resin black panel, most rectangles on the back side of the self test card will appear as solid black. A sample of the self test pattern is shown on the following page.

1.If power is ON, turn it OFF now by pressing the on/cancel button. The LED indicator lights should no longer be illuminated. Verify that a full- color ribbon is installed and that cards are properly loaded.

2.Press and hold the on-line button.

3.While holding the on-line button down, turn the printer power back ON by quickly pressing and releasing the on/cancel button.

4.Release the on-line button. The gray scale self test will begin printing approximately 5 seconds after the on-line button has been released.
