Short test

The short test prints the version number of the
software contained in the printer’s ROM, followed by
seven lines of text. If you are using a color ribbon,
each line is printed using a different color.

Long test

A long test continually prints the version number of
the software contained in the printer’s ROM,
followed by the current User Setup Utility settings,
and the entire character set in each available font and
pitch setting. This sequence is repeated until you stop
it by holding down the control panel’s Power button.
Since this test can generate many lines of text and
graphics, it is a good idea to perform this test only
when using continuous fanfold paper rather than
single sheets.

Hexadecimal dump

This test prints in hexadecimal format all codes
(character codes and control codes) that are sent to
the printer by the computer. The printer does not
execute any control codes (such as 0A - linefeed), it
just prints them out. The hexadecimal dump is useful
when you are writing programs for printer control.
Use the following procedure to perform a
hexadecimal dump.
❏Set up the printer for a test print as described
under “Testing the printer” on page81.
Note:
Both the short test and the long test print across the
entire width of the carriage. Make sure that the printer
is loaded with the widest possible paper available in
order to avoid damage to the print head and platen.
