Printing test pattern
Before performing the printer's self test, be sure the ribbon cassette and paper are properly
installed in the printer. The self test prints a continuous pattern of printable characters (ASCII
character pattern) in either draft or near letter quality (NLQ).
While test printing is executed, the ON LINE lamp blinks and the LCD indicates “SELF
