n. Printer properly loads and ejects the tickets.
o. Run printer off the host computer. The best way to do this is to run 15 tickets from
parallel port, 15 tickets from USB port and 15 tickets from the serial port. When
running the serial port, make sure the printer runs out of tickets during the run and you
do not lose any tickets when the stock is reloaded. Save a sample printout to be
stapled to the printer test sheet later.
p. Print a minimum of 50 tickets. Use the shortest ticket length possible.
q. Ethernet port should be tested after the serial number has been locked into the printer.
r. Load the serial number into the printer. Make sure you load the correct number and
downgrade if needed.
s. Make sure the computer test log is properly filled out.
t. Apply serial number tag to printer. Tag should be placed about 1/8" away from the
bottom of the printer (see Serial Number Tag Placement, below)
u. Before moving printer to the final inspection table inspect the printer again and make
sure everything is in proper order.
v. Denote the printer in your printer log sheet.
w. When you place the printer onto the final test table, plug the printer into the
appropriate power source. Turn the printer on, load the stock and print one self-test
ticket.
