o SELF-TEST
1.
Make sure the power is off.
2. Load the paper.
3. Hold down the form-feed button while you press the
on/off button; then release both buttons.
The first part of the printout shows the ROM revision
number, the DIP switch settings, and whether an
option card is installed. Then the printer prints the
character set continuously. (If you are using a colored
ribbon, the printer alternates the color of each line.)
If you want to test the printer in all print quality modes
(draft, normal, and NLQ) continue with the following
steps. If not, skip to step 7.
4.
While the printer is printing the character set, press the
line feed button to stop the printing.
5.
Use the print quality button to select the desired print
quality mode (if necessary, refer to the owner's
manual for complete instructions).
6.
Press the select button to resume printing the
character set. The printer continues printing in the
previous print quality mode for another two or three
lines and then changes to the newly selected print
quality mode.
7.
To end the self-test, turn the power off.
Note
:
If you press the select button during power-up,
the ImageWriter prints a hexadecimal dump. If this
occurs, power the ImageWriter off and then back on.
The printer will power up in the proper mode.
