Running the Self Test
The EX has a built-in self test that prints out the characters in its
memory so that you can see that the printer is working properly
The self test also prints the settings of the printer’s DIP switches. This
part of the printout will be useful in the next section of this manual.
Before running the self test, make sure that paper is loaded in the
printer and that the power is OFF
To run the self test in the Near Letter Quality (NLQ) mode, hold down
the
FORM
FEED button while you turn the printer on. When the
printing starts, release the
FORM FEED
button.
The self test first prints the version number of the printer and 11 lines
of DIP switch settings. Then it prints the characters from its memory
The test continues until you turn the printer off. Part of a typical self test
is shown below.
