USING SETUP MODE

Printing the Self-Test

The SELF-TST function prints test pages to check how the printer operates independently of your computer. The self-test does not check the interface between the computer and the printer.

The self-test prints the printer’s firmware version, its resident emulations, and all of the characters available in the currently selected character set. If the DPL24C PLUS emulation is selected for MENU1, the self-test is printed using the settings currently assigned to MENU1.

Procedure

This procedure assumes that you are in setup mode. To print the self-test, make sure that continuous forms paper is loaded into the printer. Then proceed as follows:

1.Print the <<FUNCTION>> menu.
