Bench Run
The bench run is a routine that each Printer performs before it leaves the manufacturing site. It attempts to filter out Printers that could have an early breakdown due to a fault in manufacturing. The bench run tests the operation of the electronics, carriage axis system, media axis system, bail lift mechanism, and service station.
The bench run is performed at the manufacturing site by sending special commands to the Printer and then pressing the indicated front panel keys.
If the Printer is switched OFF during the Bench Run, the Bench Run will be resumed at exactly the same point before the Printer was switched OFF, until the Bench Run is completed.
THIS TEST HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BE USED DURING THE MANUFACTURING STAGE AND NOT IN THE FIELD.
DO NOT AT ANYTIME ENTER THIS TEST WHEN

1The way to enter to Bench Run is to press the Media Source and Form Feed keys in Service Mode 1. If these keys are accidently pressed, you must immediately EXIT the Bench Run by switching OFF the Printer and powering ON again while pressing the Print Quality and Media Source keys.
