Performing Test Prints
In this chapter we will show you how to perform all the test prints with the operation panel.
These test prints can also be executed from the Windows printer driver.
Starting the test prints
Follow this general procedure to perform any test print.
To avoid fouling the platen with wet ink, never attempt to perform a test print on paper
smaller than A4 or Letter size. You can print on either side of plain paper
1. Check the table below and select the test you want to print.
Test Print Number of Beeps See page
Demonstration 1 47
Printer Settings 2 48
Ripple Pattern 3 48
Nozzle Check Pattern 4 49
Hex Dump Mode 5* 50
Font Sample 6 49
* The Hex Dump Mode is not a test print. This setting switches the printer to
hexadecimal dump mode.
2. Switch off the printer by pressing the POWER button and wait for the print head unit
to return to the home position.
3. Press and hold down the POWER button. Wait for the number of beeps required for
the test print you want then release the POWER button. After you release the
POWER button, the test print you selected starts to print.
