SELF-TEST
The “self-test” is a trial run of your beautiful new machine. SD-lo/l 5 carries a built-in program that prints out sample lines of letters, numbers, and other characters - to show you that everything’s in good working order. It also serves as a display of the characters available in the SD-lo/l 5. And finally, it’s a “warm-up” that permits you to check your installation of ribbon and paper, and the adjustment of the print head gap.
Best of all, you don’t have to wait another minute - you can print the self-test without hooking up the SD-lo/l5 to your computer! It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3...
1.Plug the printer’s power cord into an electrical outlet.
2.Insert a sheet of paper (or sprocket paper, either one).
3.While holding down the LF button, turn the power switch
on.
Were you surprised? It’s speedy, isn’t it? 16O.characters a second, to be exact (when printing normal pica type).
