Printing the Test Prints
Self Test
To select condensed or non-condensed printing in Epson LQ mode,
follow these steps:
1. Make sure the printer is on-line.
2. Press the
PITCH
button to switch between condensed and non-
condensed mode. Non-condensed is the default setting. The
printer sounds a short tone for the condensed font style. The
printer sounds a long tone for non-condensed mode.
The printer includes two test prints: the self test and the font list. Use
these test prints to check the operation of the printer.
You can print the self test in both printer control modes: BJ-10e mode
or Epson LQ mode. The printer prints a repeating pattern of characters
in the default print mode or pitch.
In BJ-10e mode, the pattern is printed in Courier typeface at 10 cpi; the
print mode is HQ. In Epson LQ mode, the pattern is printed in Roman
typeface at 10 cpi; the print mode is HQ.
Starting the test
To start the self test, follow these steps:
1. Press the POWER button to turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the
LF/FF
button, and press the
POWER
button
until the beeper sounds.
3. When the printer beeps, release the POWER button. When it
beeps again, release the
LF/FF
button. When the cartridge stops
turning, the POWER and ERROR indicators light.
