The Rolling ASCII Print Test produces a continuous printout of all 96 ASCII characters in a rolling pattern in whatever typeface is selected (default = LQ Courier).
The top of the printout shows the Printer Model, Emulation, Country Code, and Firmware Revision Level.
Make sure continuous forms paper is loaded.
