Testing the Printer
You can test the printer to ensure that it is running properly.
The sample on the following page shows what a printout of the
test may look like. The test pattern varies depending on the
printer model and the character set selected when the printer
was ordered.
Run the test after loading the paper, but before connecting it to
a host system. If the characters do not print properly, check to
make sure the paper is installed correctly, and that suitable
thermal paper is being used.
If the printer is still not working correctly, contact your dealer.

1. Open the printer cover.
2. Plug the DC power cable from the external power
supply into the printer.
3. Plug the AC power cable into the external power
