PRINT-T
(printing test)
•

(hex dump)
These functions are used for checking print quality and diagnosing printer problems. Hex

TESTS
function, but they are restricted to the use of service personnel.
Printing Test
The printing test function prints test pages independently of your computer to check printing
operations and quality. It does not check the interface between the computer and the printer.
The printing test prints all of the characters available in the ASCII character set. For color
printers with a color ribbon, printing occurs in four colors.
To start the printing test, make sure that continuous forms paper is loaded into the printer.
