Testing the Printer

CAUTION: Run the self test using paper at least 210 mm

(8.2 inches) wide for the ActionPrinter 5000 or 360 mm
(14 inches) wide for the ActionPrinter 5500; otherwise, the

print head prints directly on the platen.

4. Insert a sheet of paper between the edge guides until it meets

resistance. After a few seconds, the printer loads the paper to

the loading position and begins printing the self test.

5. To

stop the self test, press the

PAUSE

button (you can resume

the self test by pressing the

PAUSE

button again).

6. Press

the LOAD/EJECT

button to eject the paper from the printer

and then turn the printer off.

Note: If test results are not satisfactory, see Chapter 6.

Here is part of a typical self test.
