2. Turn the power switch off, then hold down the

DRAFT

button on

the control panel while you turn the power back on. The Apex80

begins printing letters, numbers, and other characters that are

stored in its ROM (Read Only Memory) in draft mode. (If DIP

switch 1-5 has been turned on, the test will be performed in NLQ

mode, as in step 4 below.)

3. When printing starts, you can release the

DRAFT

button; the

printing continues until you turn the printer off or until the printer

runs out of paper.

4. To perform the same test in the NLQ mode, load another sheet of

paper. Turn the printer off, then turn it back on while holding

down the NLQ button. Sans Serif and Roman fonts alternate for

this test. Partial results of both tests are shown in Figure 1-20.
