Using the Diagnostic Functions
The TESTS function allows you to diagnose the printer with the following two functions:
• PRINT-T (printing test)
• HEX-DUMP (hex dump)
These functions are used for checking print quality and diagnosing printer problems. Hex
dump also provides useful information for programmers. There are two other options in the
TESTS function, but they are restricted to the use of service personnel.
Printing Test
The printing test function prints test pages independently of your computer to check printing
operations and quality. It does not check the interface between the computer and the printer.
The printing test prints all of the characters available in the ASCII character set. For color
printers with a color ribbon, printing occurs in four colors.
To start the printing test, make sure that continuous forms paper is loaded into the printer.
Enter the Set-Up mode, and follow these steps:
1. Start the printing test (select the PRINT-T option).
Check that the red cursor is located under PRINT-T, and then press the button or
the button. The printer selects (underlines) PRINT-T and starts printing. A short
help menu is printed at the top of the page. Note that the printer is not ready for the
computerduring this printing test.
2. Exit the printing test.
Exit the printing test in either of the following ways after printing a dozen lines:
• To exit the printing test and return to the <TESTS> menu, press the button or
the button.
• To exit the printing test and return to the <FUNCTIONS> menu, press the Exit/Save
button.
• To exit the printing test and return to the Normal mode (Ready), press the Set-Up/
Quit button. The printer temporarily saves any changes made while in the Set-Up
mode and then returns to the Ready state.
