Setting Up the Printer 39
TESTING THE PRINTER
Test the printer to ensure that it is running properly. The sample on the
following page shows what a printout of the test may look like. The test
pattern varies depending on the printer model and the character set selected
when the printer was ordered.
Run the test after loading the paper, but before connecting it to a host system.
If the characters do not print properly or if ink is smudged on the paper,
check to make sure the paper and ribbon are installed correctly. If you are
still having problems, please refer to “Correcting Problems” on page 52.
If the printer is still not working correctly, contact your dealer or the
Technical Support Department at TransAct Technologies’ Ithaca facility. For
more information, see “Contacting TransAct Technologies’ Ithaca facility”
on page 2.
TESTING THE PRINTER
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the RESUME button while turning on the printer.
When the printer starts printing, let go of the RESUME button.
Some technical information is printed before the self-test menu. This
information identifies the part number and date of the printer’s firmware.
If the self-test menu is incomplete or does not look at all like the sample,
contact the Technical Support Department at TransAct Technologies’
Ithaca facility. Please refer to “Contacting TransAct Technologies’ Ithaca
facility” on page 2.
