Figure 7-13. Short test pattern
Long self test
To see the printer’s variety of type styles,you can run the long version
of the printer’s self test.
1. Check that paper is in position for printing.
2. With power off, press the Paper Feed switch on the control panel and
hold it down.
3. Stillholding the Pap Feed wvitd down, turn the printer’spower ON.
The printer will automatically start printing a test pattern of its full
character wt in various type styles. Watch the lights on the control panel;
they indicate which typestyleis printing. The test pattern variesdepending
on the settingof DIP switch 1-6(ON —Standard mode, OFF —IBMmode),
but more about that later.
This test repeats indefinitelyin a cycle of 30 or 70 lines. To stop the
test, switch power off.
Interface test
After confirming that the printer works by itself, it is time to test the
interface with the computer. The simplestway to do this is with a direct
command. Power up both the printer and computer, load paper, then try
a command like one of the following:
MS-DOS or PC-DOS command:
A>ECHO THE INTERFACE WORKS>PRN
Microsoft BASIC command:
LPRINT “THE INTERFACEWORKS”
Or you can try any other command understood by your computer to
print a line of text. Consult your computer manual if you need help. If you
repeat the command a few times, the printout will come into view.
Next you may want to try a test printout with word-processingsoftware,
but for this to succeed you willhave to set the printer’s DIP switches(see
the end of this chapter) and install your software to support the printer
correctly (seeChapter 3).
