103 Communication Loop-back Test (Single Loop)

1Remove the interface cable from the printer.

2Check to make sure the four DIP switches on the signal interface board have been pulled toward the printer’s back cover. Close the back cover.

3Install the RS-232C and RS-422 loop-back connectors, found in the tool kit mounted inside the right printer cover.

If you do not have loop-back connectors, jumper the connections as outlined in Table 5-24,“RS-232 Loopback Connections” and Table 5-25,“RS-422 Loopback Connec- tions” .
