Earlier methods for offline tests
The section provides the previous methods for initiating offline tests. Although
these methods are supported, IBM recommends that you use the firmware menu
and sub-menus to initiate all offline tests.
Resetting the printer and the document sensor threshold
To reset the printer,:
1. Press and hold the paper feed and document feed buttons (A and B in
Figure 3 on page 102) to enter offline mode.
2. When the printer-ready indicator begins blinking, release both buttons.
3. Open and close the paper door by pressing the paper release button C in
Figure 3 on page 102.
Customer receipt test

To initiate the customer receipt test, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold both the paper feed and document feed buttons (A and B in
Figure 3 on page 102) to enter offline mode
2. When the printer-ready indicator begins blinking, release both buttons.
3. Press and release the paper feed button to start the test
Document insert station test

To initiate the document insert station test, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold both the paper feed and document feed buttons (A and B in
Figure 3 on page 102) buttons to enter offline mode.

MICR read, flipper test (Model 2CR only)
Note: IBM recommends that you use the offline menus to initiate this test.
The MICR read test is accessed through the sub-menus in offline mode.
Follow these steps to start the MICR read and flipper test:
1. Insert the check face down with the magnetic ink characters to the right.
2. To enter offline mode, press and hold both buttons until the printer-ready
indicator begins blinking.
3. Then release both buttons.
4. Press and release both buttons again. The printer reads the check.
5. Characters that match the magnetic ink characters are printed on the customer
receipt. The check is then flipped over, and ejected.
Understanding MICR test results: If the characters printed do not match the
magnetic ink characters, check the MICR read head. The printer will insert
question marks if the MICR read engine cannot decode a number. If the printer
detects noise, it will print out the amplitude and frequency of the noise, if possible.
