Removing the paper

When you are finished printing, remove the paper by using the

manual-feed knob. If your paper is almost out of the printer, you can

release it by placing the lock lever in the FREE position.

The P-80 Self-Test

It’s time to see how your P-80 operates. The

P-80

self-test is a built-

in program that prints all the standard characters. It provides an

opportunity to test the ribbon and the paper installation without hav-

ing to request a printout from your computer. If fact, you don’t even

need a computer to perform the self-test.

Start by placing a sheet of 8½-inch wide paper in your printer. With

the power OFF, hold down the PAPER FEED switch and turn the

power ON. Release the PAPER FEED switch when the P-80 starts

printing. The characters will be printed as shown in Figure 3-2. The

printer will continue indefinitely until you turn the power OFF or run

out of paper.

Note: If you turn the printer off in the middle of printing, the print

head may be in the printing position. (The print head is pressed

into the paper.) When this occurs, turn the power ON for a few

seconds to allow the print head to return to its starting position

at the left.
