Long test mode

If the printer is turned on while the (PAPER FEED] button is pressed, the printer will enter the long self-test mode. The printer will start printing as soon as the (PAPER FEED) button is released, and will print the version number of the printer’s ROM, followed by the whole character set printed in each font styles and pitch available.

The test cycles endlessly. To stop the test you must switch power off.

Since the test print occupies the whole width of the carriage, it is recom- mended that the printer is loaded with continuous stationery to avoid possible damage to the print head and/orplaten. In addition, the total number of lines printed is considerable, more than can be accomodated on a single sheet, so fanfold paper is certainly suggested for this test.

By holding the C SE&!!lgCTIbutton down during power- up, the printer will enter the print area test mode.

If you have loaded the fanfold paper, the printer shows only the first line.
