Long test mode
If the printer is turned on while the [
PAPER FEED I button is pressed, the
printer will enter the long self-test mode, with the “P2”message on the LCD
display. The printer will print the version number of the printer’s ROM, the
currentElectronicDIPSwitch (EDS) settingsandthecurrentDotAdjustment
setting, followed by the entire character set printed in each font and pitch
available.
The test repeats endlessly, so you must turn the power off to stop it.

Figure 4-4. Long self-test
Since the self-test prints across the full width of the carriage, it is recom-
mended that the printer is loaded with the widest paper possible to avoid
damage to the print head and/or platen. In addition,the total number of lines
printed is considerable, more than can be accommodated on a single sheet,
so fanfold paper is recommended for this test.
