Testing the Printer

Before connecting your printer to a computer, use the built-in self-

test function to see that the printer is working properly.

Before running the self test, you need to plug your printer’s power

cord into an electrical outlet.

Plugging in the printer

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.

2. Check the label on the back of the printer to make sure the

voltage required by the printer matches that of your electrical

outlet.

CAUTION: If the rated voltage and your outlet voltage do

not match, contact your dealer for assistance. Do not plug

in the power cord.

3. If the power cord is not attached to the printer, connect it to the

AC inlet on the printer’s rear panel.

4. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

Running the self test

You can run the self test with either continuous paper or single

sheets. Also, you can load the paper for the test from the top, rear,

front, or bottom. The following steps describe how to run the test

on single-sheet paper, loaded from the top. See Chapter 2 for full

details on paper handling.

The self test begins by printing on the first and last lines of page 1.

The printer then prints the DIP-switch settings and character

samples on page 2.
