IBM TM7 - Manual (Page 93)

Test Pattern Notes:
1. The serial number that prints will be the actual serial number of your printer. (If
the logic card has been replaced, this number must be reset to the original
serial number.)
2. The microcode level will be the actual level of your printer’s microcode.
3. The serial interface will be specified as RS232, RS485, or USB, depending on
which interface is used to attach the printer to the system unit.
4. The line speed information appears only when the RS-232 interface is used.
The value can be either 9.6K baud or 19.2K baud, depending on the RS-232
switch settings. (See “RS-232 Communication Mode Selections” on page 23.)
5. The RS-232 control mode information appears only when the RS-232 interface
is used. The value can be either DTR/DSR or XON/XOFF, depending on the
RS-232 switch settings. (See “RS-232 Communication Mode Selections” on
page 23.)
6. The feature-enabled lines will appear only when a feature is installed.
7. This section contains the print test pattern.
8. This section contains printer usage statistics that you can use for problem
determination.
9. The line across the bottom should be solid with no blank spaces.
RS-232 Hex Dump
An RS-232 hex dump is provided to help diagnose problems with models TM7 and
TF7.
To enable hex dump mode for the Model TF7 or TM7 printer, press and hold the
paper feed button while the printer is powered on. If the top cover is open, this also
puts the printer in power-up offline mode.
