Printing a Self Test

Figure 2-11. Loading a Cut Sheet

Self test lets you verify normal printing
operation and inspect print quality. Print a
test after installing the printer, after mainte-
nance, after periods of inactivity, and
during troubleshooting when applicable.

To print a self test, perform this procedure:

1. With the paper support raised, squeeze

the rear clip on the left paper edge guide
and position the guide so that it aligns
with the "0" mark ( ) on the ruler.

2. Set a sheet of paper between the paper

edge guides, as shown in figure 2-11.
Squeeze the rear clip of the right paper
edge guide and position it against the
right side of the paper.

3. To print an 8-inch-wide test, press the

Test button, as shown in figure 2-12.
(Or, to print a test as wide as the
WIDTH parameter setting on the Setup
menu, press the Test button twice.) The
paper will feed into the printer, the
TEST message will blink, and the self
test will begin printing.

4. While printing, move the form thickness

indicator to optimize the print quality.

5. To stop, press the Ready button. The

printer will complete the current line
and the PAUSE message will appear.

6. Inspect the printout. Make sure that the

characters are dark and crisp. If the
quality is unacceptable, install a new
ribbon cartridge and try again.
