Using Diagnostic Functions

To exit SELF-TST and return online, press ONLINE. The printer saves any changes you made while in setup mode and returns online.

Another way to start the test is to turn off the printer and then press LF/FF while turning the printer back on. As explained in “Test Printing” on page 8-38, this procedure is convenient when first setting up the printer.

Hex dump printing (HEX-DUMP)

HEX-DUMP prints data and commands in hexadecimal and abbreviated control code. The character set is IBM character set 2. HEX-DUMP is useful for checking whether the processor is sending the correct commands to the printer and whether the printer is executing commands correctly. It is also useful for debugging software programs.

To print hex dumps, check that continuous forms are loaded. Then do the following:

1.Enter setup mode.

Place the printer offline and then press FONT and MENU simultaneously. Wait for the printer to stop printing and check that the <<FUNCTION>> menu is printed.
