5The test continuously repeats itself until you press the C￿ncel ￿n￿ Me￿i￿ Source keys.

If you are viewing information via the serial port, you will see output similar to the following if the Test Passes:

1.- FRONT PANEL TEST

2.- Y AXIS TEST

3.- X AXIS TEST

4.- CARRIAGE TEST

5.- SENSORS TEST

Test Mode X±axis cycle : 87 pwm.

The result of the Encoder sensor test is only reported via the serial output and not via the front6panel. In order to perform the encoder sensor test, you must move the carriage slightly so that the encoder sensor can detect the change in status. If the carriage is not moved at all, the Encoder Sensor test will always fail. If the carriage is moved and ONLY the Encoder Sensor test fails, then you need to replace the Carriage Assembly ' page 8637.

If any of the tests fail, refer to the individual test documented in this chapter for the correct troubleshooting procedure.
