Running a Printer Check
1. Turn off the printer and your computer.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
4. Hold down the E load/eject button and turn on the printer.
Then release both buttons. The printer prints out one page
containing the printer’s ROM version number, character
table number, and a nozzle check pattern.
5. After it prints the page, turn off the printer. Reconnect the
interface cable, then turn on the printer and your
computer.
Changing the Character Table
The printer uses a character table for printing United States and
standard European characters (PC437). If you want to use a
multilingual character table (PC850), you can change to it
using the printer’s control panel. See the Appendix for a list of
the characters available in each table.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Hold down the R cleaning button and turn on the printer.
Then release both buttons.
The character table is changed to PC850. To change it back to
PC437, repeat the steps above. To check the current character
table number, run a printer check as described in the previous
section.
Caution:
Load paper that’s at
least 8.3 inches
(210 mm) wide so ink
doesn’t spray onto the
platen.
