3.1 Self Test Mode
The MTP-1530II has a self-test mode that will print and cut a sample ticket.
To place the unit into self-test mode, first turn power switch off, then press and
hold
the FEED push button switch. Next, place the POWER switch in the ON
position to apply power to the printer. Release the FEED Button after printing
starts (within 5 seconds). See a sample of a Self Test Printout on the next
page.
The first part of the self test message prints several fields showing how the
printer is configured. Following the first part of the self test, you have the option
of pressing the paper feed button once more to print a “barber pole” pattern
print test of ASCII Characters, or turning power off and back on to terminate the
self test The printer goes to the off-line (BUSY) state when self test starts and
remains off-line until self test is finished due two either of these actions. All
electrical/mechanical portions of the printer are exercised and checked by this
action, except for the host-to-printer communication interface components.
The Power Switch is located at the
rear of the printer next to the power
inlet connector. Pressing the “1”
position on the power switch applies
power to the printer, and pressing the
“0” position on the switch switches off
power from the printer.
The Paper Feed Button is located
on the top, side chassis of the
printer. This button will feed paper
through the printer while it is
pressed, and the button is also used
together with the power button to
print a Self Test printout.
