Running the Self Test

Running the test

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.

2. While holding down the

LF/FF

button, turn on the printer.

The printer gives two long and two short beeps, and then it

loads the paper automatically and begins the self test.

The printer prints characters in the current font and character

table. Here is part of a typical self test:

Note:

If the paper cassette is empty when you turn the power on,

the printer beeps three times and the

READY

light flashes. Load

paper as described above and press the

LF/FF

button to start the

self test.

3. To stop the self test, turn off the printer.

If the self test does not work properly, contact your dealer.

Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

If the self test prints correctly, you’re ready to connect your printer

to the computer. You need a parallel printer cable to connect your

computer to the printer’s built-in parallel interface.
Follow these steps to connect the parallel interface cable:

1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off; then

plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s interface

connector.
