Note! To get the single-sided test print to alternate sides, LAYOUT 2 must be used to set the layout
to Z-fold.
2.6 Test Print
This Braillo Printer has both single-sided and double-sided (interpoint) test print patterns. See also TEST
PRINT in chapter 2.1 "Operating Panel".
The test print consists of a X-pattern, some full cell lines, empty cell lines, the complete ASCII-table and
a pattern consisting of a character with dot 1,3,5 combined with a character with dot 2,4,6.
The test print program is designed to ensure that the 168 printing mechanisms functions properly.
It is recommended to print a few pages of test print before beginning the day's production.
How to use the Test Print:
1st push down: Prints an X-pattern on both sides of the sheet which shows each pin from each
magnet rack printing on a separate line. Useful when searching for missing dots.
2nd push down: Prints full cells and empty lines, together with the ASCII-table on both sides of the
sheet. Useful for testing the printing pressure adjustments, and to see how the
paper can take heavy printing.
3rd push down: Prints full cells and empty lines, together with the ASCII-table single-sided. Useful
for testing the printing pressure adjustments.
4th push down: Prints a test pattern made of dot 1,3,5 and 2,4,6, single-sided. Useful when
searching for extra dots.
5th push down: As 1st push down etc.
The chapter 3.2 "Principal Design of Printing Procedure" illustrates how the printing mechanisms are
placed. This illustration combined with the printing page sequences, chapter 3.3 "Table of Page
Sequences", makes it possible to locate the faulty printing mechanism.
Instruction for troubleshooting will be illustrated by examples in chapter 3.1 "Troubleshooting".
