Setting the Run Time Parameters
The tests you select will run in the following manner unless you
change the Run time parameters:
0
Each test is performed one time (passbound)
0
The program waits if an error occurs
0
No errors are recorded to the printer, disk, or other device.
If you want to change the default Run time parameters, press
F2
to move to the Run time parameters window. Press
E
SC
at any
time to exit and return to the submenu of diagnostic tests.
The first run time parameter specifies the mode in which to
run
the test. You see this prompt:
Testing
mode: (T)imebound /
(C)ontinuous / (P)assbound ? P
In Timebound mode, the program runs the tests for the amount
of time you specify; press
T
and then
Enter.
In Continuous mode, the tests run until you interrupt them;
press C and
Enter.
In Passbound mode, the program runs the tests the number of
times you specify. This is the default setting; press
P,
if
necessary, and
Enter
to select the mode.
The next option is:
Wait on error (Y/N) ? Y
Press Y, if necessary, and
Enter
if you want the program to pause
when an error occurs. This lets you view the error message, make
notes about it, and then press Enter to continue. (Y is the
default setting.)
