Testing the Model 2 Printer
The printer test button is located under the printer
cover and can only be used when the cover is
open. This button runs a test that lets you know
that the print head is seated properly and the
printer is working correctly. Use this button each
time you install the paper, ribbon cartridge, or print
head.
CAUTION:
For safety when running the printer test, make
sure personal articles such as ties, necklaces,
or bracelets do not get caught in the moving
print head.
To run the printer test:
1
Raise the printer cover.
2
Press the T button.
