SETUP MODE
Test printing (SELF-TST)
SELF-TST prints test pages to check printer operation independent of
the processor. It does not check the interface between the processor and
printer.
SELF-TST prints the printer’s firmware version number, resident
emulations, and all characters available in the currently selected
character set. If the DPL24C PLUS emulation is selected for MENU1,
printing uses settings currently assigned to MENU1. If Prestige Elite
12 is selected, for example, the test uses Prestige Elite 12.
The following procedure assumes the printer is in setup mode. Check
that continuous forms are loaded. Then do the following:
1. Print the <<FUNCTION>> menu.
The <<FUNCTION>> menu should be the last printed line on the
page. If it is not printed, press ONLINE. If using HEX-DUMP,
press LOCK instead of ONLINE to print the <<FUNCTION>>
menu.
2. Select SELF-TST.
Repeatedly press LOCK to position the yellow arrow on the print
head beneath SELF-TST. Then press FONT or MENU. The
printer selects SELF-TST and starts printing. A short help menu is
printed at the top of the page, followed by the test. Note that the
printer does not go online during printing.
3. Check the test page.
To temporarily halt test printing, press FONT or MENU. To
resume printing, press FONT or MENU again.
4. Exit SELF-TST.
To exit SELF-TST and remain in setup mode, press LOCK. The
<<FUNCTION>> menu is then reprinted.
