KS55 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
5.5 - SPECIAL PRINTING MODES
Besides the normal printing mode in which all the received data are printed according to the
settings or conditions fixed by the commands, the KS55 printer allows two special working modes: self-
test mode and the hexadecimal mode.
5.5.1 - Self-test mode
The printer provides the self-
test mode with two different
functionality: showing information
of the settings of that particular
printer model and verifying the
printing.
To enter the self-test mode,
the printer must be powered on
while keeping pressing the button.
The KS55 will start printing a
report, which allows checking the
features of this particular model,
like the firmware current version,
control functions of the
communications protocol, and so
on.
Once this printing has been
finished, if the button is kept
pressed; the printer will start
printing continuously and
repetitively a character pattern until
it finally concludes the self-test by
printing ‘* * completed * *’. This
second option of the self-test mode
has the goal of validating the
printing speed and quality.
At the end of the self-test
page there are few lines showing
the four different maintenance
counts:
1- Times that the printer has been
switched on.
2- Time (in half hours) that the
printer has been powered on.
3- Meters of paper printed.
