Since the self-test occupies the full width of the carriage, it is recommended
that the printer is loaded with the widest paper possible to avoid damage to
the print head and/or platen. In addition, the total number of lines printed is
considerable, more than can be accommodated on a single sheet, so fanfold
paper is recommended for this test.
