Long test
Use the following procedure to test the printer to make sure that
everything is working correctly.
1. Make sure that paper is loaded in the printer.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. While holding down the control panel’s LINE FEED button, turn the
printer back on.
4. The short self-test prints the following information.
1) Rolling ASCII 7 lines.
2) All ASCII characters.
Draft 10 cpi, 12 cpi, and 15 cpi
ROMAN 10 cpi, 12 cpi, and 15 cpi
3) All Kanji characters.
Note:
Test printing prints across the entire width of the carriage. Make sure
that the printer is loaded with the widest paper available in order to avoid
damage to the print head and platen.
Hexadecimal dump
This procedure prints in hexadecimal format all codes (character codes
and control codes) that are sent to the printer by the computer. The printer
does not execute any control codes (such as 0A - linefeed), it just prints
them out. The hexadecimal dump is useful when you are writing
programs for printer control.
1. Make sure that paper is loaded in the printer.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. While holding down the control panel’s SET/PARK/EJECT button,
turn the printer back on to enter the Hex Dump Mode.
4. To exit the Hex Dump Mode, turn the printer off.
