While holding down the
FONT
button, turn on the printer.
(Hold down the button until the printer starts working; it
takes a few seconds.) It loads a sheet of paper automatically
from the paper feeder and begins the self test.
The printer prints characters in each font, in the order the fonts
appear on the control panel. Here is part of a typical self test:
Courier
The self test continues until the paper in the paper feeder
runs out or you press the
Pause
button. To stop the test,
press the
Pause
button. To resume the test, press the
Pause
button again.
To end the self test, press the
Pause
button to stop printing
and then press the
Load/Eject
button to eject the paper.
Turn off the printer.
Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
If the self test prints correctly, you are ready to connect your
printer to the computer. You need a shielded twisted-pair
parallel cable to connect your computer to the printer’s built-in
parallel interface.
