Setting Up the Printer 1-19
Self Test
The self test lets you know if your printer is operating properly. It
checks the control circuits, printer mechanisms, print quality, ROM
version, and DIP switch settings. (It also checks the MICR reader
circuits if the printer is equipped with the optional MICR reader).
You can run the self test with either roll paper or slip paper.
