Printer self-test
(Rolling ASCII)
To check operational readiness, your printer contains a self-test rou-

switching on the printer, until Testmode appears on the display.
Press the soft key for the ASCII 80 format (corresponds to Legal

Press the Online key, to start the test.
It is also possible to change to Setup mode when you are in Rolling
test mode if you want to change the configuration for the test print-
