Cable routing

To prevent the printer from becoming unplugged accidentally, make sure the cables

Test the printer

The test prints a list of various printer settings (Diagnostic form) and partially cuts
the paper if a knife is installed (see sample on next page). The test printout items
may vary depending on the printer model. This printout may be useful to a
service representative if there is a problem. If something appears to be wrong
with the test printout (such as missing or faded text), see page 44 in the troubleshooting
section in this document.

At the end of the test printout are instructions how to enter the configuration menu.
The configuration menu allows you to change the current settings of the printer.
