Testing options
The printer is provided with a number of simple means for testing
that it is functioning correctly. Use one of the available tests when
you wish to check whether the printer is working properly. Details
on the program version and emulation of your printer are contai-
ned in the header above the following test print-outs. Keep this in-
formation handy in case you need to contact the service depart-
ment.
This test can be used to check both the print quality and the paper
handling. Pay particular attention to problems with paper feeding
and ejection and irregularities with the print-out.
• ASCII test on a cut sheet
Should you wish to print out a continuous ASCII alphabet, hold
down the QUIET/TOF button when switching on the printer.
Either insert a sheet of paper or press the FF/LOAD button to
have a sheet fed from the cut sheet feeder (CSF).
• ASCII test on continuous paper
First mount the continuous paper in the tractor feed. Notes on
the use of continuous paper are to be found in the chapter »Pa-
per handling«. Press the QUIET/TOF button when switching on
the printer.
The continuous test runs for several pages until terminated by pres-
sing the SEL button. The continuous ASCII sample is printed over
the entire printable area of the platen, so make sure with the wide
model that appropriate paper is inserted.
