Testing the Printer
Test the receipt station using the simple tests described here. Additional tests are
described in the “Diagnostics” chapter in the Owner's Guide. The tests print data
about the printer's configuration which is useful to a service representative if there
is a problem. The tests also print the character sets and cut the paper. The tests
continue until you stop them. Several feet of paper can be used to print one pass.

Press the On Line button (or plunger) to put the printer off-line.
Use a paper clip or other pointed object to depress the plunger on models with
