Alternate Serial Port Check
Use this option to test the functions of an additional serial communica-

This test is identical to the check for the primary serial port. For more

whether an interface error exists. If no errors occur, the computer sends a
repeating sequence of ASCII characters and bit-image data to the printer
until you press any key. The pattern looks like this:
The text data includes all the characters commonly used by programs
that require foreign languages or graphic characters. If your printer prints
