Testing the Printer

5. Close the printer cover.
6. Print the self test again to check the new print density setting.

(To print the self test, make sure the printer is off line; then press

the

MANUAL

and

SPECIAL

buttons at the same time.)

Performing the font and status print tests

There are two other tests you can perform, in addition to the self

test. The font print test gives you information on available HP fonts

and the status test lists printer settings. Like the self test, the

successful completion of either of these tests indicates that you have

correctly set up your printer and that you are ready to connect the

printer to your computer.

The font print test
The font print test gives you details on available HP fonts, including

font source and font ID number, pitch, point size, available symbol

sets, and a print sample.

The symbol set ID numbers listed on the font print test (in the

symbol set column) provide the unique portion of the escape

sequence needed to select that particular symbol set. For more

information on symbol sets, see Appendix A, and for more

information on escape sequences, see Chapter 5.
Follow the steps below to perform the font print test:

1. Be sure that your printer is plugged in and the power is on.

2. Be sure that your printer is off line.

(OFF LINE

appears on your

display.) If not, press the

ON LINE

button to set the printer off

line.
