nSelf-tests

Your printer has two built-in programs that print out sample

lines of letters, numbers, and other characters-to show you that everything’s in good working order. Self-test 1 is the long version, and self-test 2 is the short one. You can use either one to show the characters available in the printer, to check the in- stallation of the ribbon and paper, and to check the adjustment of the head-to-platen gap.

Best of all, you don’t have to wait another minute-you can print the self-test without hooking up the printer to your com- puter! It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3. . .

1.Plug in the printer (don’t turn it on yet).

2.Insert a sheet of paper (or sprocket paper, either one).

3.While holding down one of the following keys, turn on the power switch:

Paper Feed key-Self-test 1 (long)

On Line key-Self-test 2 (short)

'igure 2-12.The self-tests show you what the printer can print.

Were you surprised? It’s fast, isn’t it? About 120 characters a second, to be exact.

When you want to terminate the self-test function, turn off the power switch.
