Running
the self test
The self test can be run in either draft mode or Letter Quality
mode, depending on which button you hold down as you turn
on the printer.
Note: For the purposes of setting up and testing your printer,
most types of paper can be used. When choosing your paper
supply, however, you should always test it before regular
use. See the section in Chapter 2 on choosing paper.
CAUTION: Run the self test using paper that is at
least as wide as 217 mm (8.27 inches) if you have an
SQ-850, or 364 mm (14 inches) if you have an SQ-2550.
Before running the self test, make sure that the power cable is
connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet and the
printer is turned off.
1. While holding down the
LINE FEED
button (draft mode) or
the
FORM FEED
button (Letter Quality mode), turn on the
printer. The printer beeps three times and the
POWER
and
PAPER OUT
lights come on.
