Long test mode
If the printer is turned on while the C-E%
button is pressed, the printer will
enter the long self-test mode. The printer will start printing as soon as the
M-R FEE,
button is released, and will print the version number of the printer’s
ROM, eg
“*** Ver 1.0 ***“, followed by the whole character set printed in
each typeface and pitch available.
Since the test print occupies the whole width of the carriage, it is nxom-
mended that the printer is loaded with continuous stationery to avoid
possible damage to the print head and/orplaten. In addition, the total number
of lines printed is considerable, more than can be accommodated on a single
sheet, so fanfold paper is certainly suggested for this test.
The printout below shows a short sample of the results of this test:
