DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS

GETTING HELP

The printer diagnostic functions are SELF-TST, HEX-DUMP, and V-ALMNT.

•SELF-TST tells you whether the printer hardware is functioning correctly. If the printer hardware is functional, any problems you are having are probably caused by incorrect printer settings, incorrect software settings, the interface, or the computer.

•HEX-DUMP allows you to determine whether the computer is sending the correct commands to the printer, and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. This function is useful to programmers or others who understand how to interpret hex dumps.

•V-ALMNT allows you to check and, if necessary, correct the printer’s vertical print alignment.

For details on using these functions, all of which are available in the printer setup mode, see the section Using the Diagnostic Functions in Chapter 5.

If you are not able to correct a problem using this chapter, contact your dealer for assistance. Be prepared to provide the following informa- tion:

•Your printer model number, serial number, and date of manufacture. Look for this information on the rating label on the left side of the printer.

•Description of the problem

•Type of interface you are using

•Names of your software packages

•List of the printer default settings. To print the default settings, see the section Printing a List of Selected Options in Chapter 5.
