Test Menu

In TEST Menu you will find diagnostic test print patterns used to check printer functions and a parameter that allows you to control paper mo- tion sensing.

Use the Up and Down Arrow keys to scroll to the desired selection.

Pattern Category

The Pattern Category has a series of printer self-tests which have predefined patterns used to test the basic printer functions. Selection of the patterns is done by scrolling with the Up or Down Arrow keys to the desired option, and

pressing the Enter key. The test begins based on the current margins and font information selected. All of the panel keys are disabled while the test is run- ning except for the View key and the Enter and Clear keys, which terminate the test. Once the test is terminated, all of the keys are activated. Use the Arrow and Enter keys to select Menu => Test Menu => Pattern to get here.
