4.2.1
Rolling ASCII
With the rolling ASCII test you can test whether your printer is functioning properly
(independently from your computer).
You can select either 80 or 136 characters per line. (For the narrow printer, only the
ASCII test with 80 characters per line is displayed.) You can interrupt the test if you
for example want to change the line density by pressing the Online key.
To exit the ASCII test, the printer must be turned off.
Example for an ASCII test
printout
If you selected a PS font, the printed length of the lines varies.
This test can also be used to determine and set the optimal print head gap (see the
reference manual on CD-ROM, section
Setting the print head distance ).
