Long test pattern: Paper Feed switch

If held down during power-up, this switch prints a long test pattern. The test cycles endlessly. To stop the test you must switch power off.

Stay in panel pitch: Print Pitch switch

By holding this switch down during power-up, you can prevent software

interference with the print pitch selected from the control panel. You will

hear an acknowledging beep as power comes on. After the beep tone, you can set the printer off-line, select a print pitch, then return to on-line and start printing. The pitch you selected will not be reset or otherwise changed

by any commands your software may issue.

Stay in pane/ style: NLQ Type Style switch

If held down during power-up, this switch prevents software interference with the type style selected from the control panel. There will be an ac-

knowledging beep, after which you can set the printer off-line, select a type style, then return to the on-line state and start printing. The selected type

style will not be changed by any commands sent by software.

If you want to protect both the Print Pitch and NLQ Type Style settings

from software changes, press both switches during power-up. There will

be two acknowledging beeps.

Pressing these switches during power-up does not prevent you from making any number of changes later from the control panel.

Hexadecimal dump: Paper Feed and Print Pitch switches

This feature is useful for programmers who are debugging printing programs and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving. (Some

computers change the codes the programmer intended.)

1.Holding both the Paper Feed and Print Pitch switches down, turn power ON. A beep tone will be heard.

2.Start printing. In place of the usual printout you will get a formatted dump showing exactly what data the printer receives. Each line presents

sixteen characters, their hexadecimal codes to the left and printable characters printed on the right.

3.At the end of the hexadecimal dump, set the printer off-line with the On Line switch. This is necessary to print the last line.
