1.8.1 SELF-TEST
To begin self-test printing in draft mode, turn the printer on while depressing the LINE-FEED button. To begin
printing in letter-quality (LQ) mode, turn the printer on while depressing FORM FEED.
Self-test printing can be stopped and restarted by pressing ON LINE (this will not affect the ON-LINE in-
dicator). To conclude the self-test, press the ON-LINE switch to stop the printing; then turn off the printer.
The first printed line of the self-test indicates the firmware revision number. Following this line, the current
DIP switch settings are printed.
