If the printer is turned on while the ( ON LINE ) button is pressed, the printer will enter the short self-test mode. The printer will start printing as soon as the ( ON LINE ) button is released, and will print the version number of the printer’s ROM, followed by six lines of the character set.

Each line will be offset by one character from the one before it. The final result will be something like the following.
