B. Running the
Self Test
A self test should now be performed to check for
proper operation of the printer. The standard self
test function requires only that a full-color ribbon
and at least one card is installed. The standard self
test function prints onto both sides of a card but
does not utilize any of the printerÕs overlay
capabilities. If printing with a full-color ribbon
with a resin black panel, most rectangles on the
back side of the self test card will appear as solid
black. A sample of the self test pattern is shown on
the following page.
1. If power is ON, turn it OFF now by pressing
the on/cancel button. The LED indicator lights
should no longer be illuminated. Verify that a full-
color ribbon is installed and that cards are properly
loaded.
2. Press and hold the on-line button.
3. While holding the on-line button down, turn
the printer power back ON by quickly pressing
and releasing the on/cancel button.
4.
Release the on-line button. The gray scale self
test will begin printing approximately 5 seconds
after the on-line button has been released.
