Testing the Printer
Running the self test
You can run the self test with either continuous paper or single
sheets. Also, you can load paper for the test from the rear, front,
top, or bottom. The following steps describe how to run the test
on single-sheet paper, loaded from the top. See Chapter 2 for full
details on paper handling.
The printer prints the self test in the currently selected font.

Make sure that the printer is turned off. Move the paper-
release lever to the single-sheet position.

samples on page 2.
