Test Port

Verify the operation of a port by sending a test pattern of characters to
the port. Terminate the test by pressing any key.

count_num

Enter the number of times the test pattern will be
sent to the port. The default is 23.

If using the test command on a port connected to a PostScript printer, the
printer will display an error condition.
