Running the Autoloader System Test

2.Press the [Enter] button to select. System Test will now be displayed.

3.Press the [Enter] button to begin the test.

The Test Count displays the number of load-calibrate-unload cycles that have been completed during the test.

4.Press the [Cancel] button to end the test.
