6.5.1 TEST Function

The test printout pages can be generated in two ways - via the address switch or via the line by activating the T function . For details on the T function, please see the section "Quick Reference Guide of the Supported FSL Functions".

Test via the address switch

1.Turn the address switch to the "T" position. A settings printout will be generated ( test 4).

2.Turn the switch away from the T- position.

3.When the CU indicator flashes, turn the switch back to the T-position.

4.The printer will now enter Online HEX Dump mode and print all data received in on-line HEX dump format ( test 1).

5.Hex dump mode is terminated by turning the address switch away from the T-position and then back again.

Keep the settings printout together with this manual for future reference.

Finally, a settings printout can also be generated at power onby activating function Y120. See the section "Quick Reference Guide of the Supported FSL Functions" for details.

NOTE:

You are recommended when installing for the first time to carry out Test 4, Settings Printout, to check whether the printer is set to the correct language. if the language is incorrect, contact your systems support or your point of purchase.
