5. See Figure 31 on page 69 and verify that your printer has printed correct
information for your model and configuration:
v Double-byte enabled
v RS-232, RS-485 or USB serial interface
v Applicable parameters for RS-232 communications:
– 9600 or 19 200 baud rate
– DTR/DSR or XON/XOFF control
v A solid line should appear as the last line of the test pattern.
If any characters that appear in Figure 31 on page 69 are missing from the test
pattern you print, or if the solid line is missing, go to Table 7 on page 70.
