3. 1 Se lf Te st  M od e (a ls o B ur n- in  an d H ex  D um p m od es ) 

The GPT-1578 has a self-test mode that will print and cut a sample document . All 
electrical  and mechanica l portions of the printer are exercised and checked by this action, 
except for the serial interface or paralle l interface componen ts. 

3.1.1 SelfTest 

To place the unit into self-test mode: turn power switch off, press and hold the 
FEED push button switch and place the POWER switch in the ON position, then 
release the paper feed switch. See Figure 10 - GPT-1578 Self-Test Printout for 
an example of the self test printout. The self-test printout also shows pertinen t 
informati on pertaini ng to operatio n of the printer. 

3.1.2 Factory Burn-In Test 

If the paper feed button is held for 4 seconds after power is turned on, the printer 
will enter the Factory Burn-In Mode. A hundred  shorter sheets (approxi mately 6") 
will be printed. If a sheet is removed during the test, the test will stop. 

3.1.3 Hex Dump printing mode 

If the paper feed button is held for 8-12 seconds after power is turned on, the 
printer will enter the Hex Dump Mode. All codes received will be printed in HEX 
format rather than causing normal execution , this may be useful for 
troublesh ooting customer applicati ons. 

3.1.4 Continuous Factory Burn-In Test 

If the paper feed button is held for 12 seconds after power is turned on, the 
printer will enter the CONTINUOU S Factory Burn-In Mode that does not stop 
after 100 sheets are printed.
