Configuration Menus 4–117
•
All Underlines – An underline pattern useful for identifying hammer
bank misalignment.
•
All Black – A condition where all dot positions are printed, creating a
solid black band.
•
Shuttle Slow – Verifies proper operation by exercising shuttle and
ribbon motion at low speed.
•
Shuttle Fast – Verifies proper operation by exercising shuttle and
ribbon motion at fast speed.
•
Shuttle Only – Exercises only the shuttle at fast speed.
•
Phase Printer – Checks for wavy print. The initial phase value is set in
the factory. Run the test and check the quality. (The phase value prints
on the left margin.) If the print looks too wavy, change the Phase Value
parameter while the test is running. While the phase printer test runs,
press the DOWN key. To change the value, press the PREV or NEXT
key until the desired value displays and then press ENTER.
•
Paperout Adjust – This test verifies the current Paper Out Dots setting,
which determines where the last line of text will print when there is a
paper out condition. Setting this parameter correctly prevents printing
on the platen from occurring.
•
Burnin Test – Reserved for factory use.
•
Print Error Log – Prints the current log of errors. Most non–routine
faults (ribbon stall, voltage faults) are stored in the error log.
•
Clear Error Log – Clears entries in the error log.
•
E–net Test Page – Prints the Ethernet statistics stored on the Ethernet
adapter (if present).
Test Width
This parameter permits you to run the self–tests at full width or 80 columns.
Paper Out Dots
This parameter is used to adjust the paper out distance from the perforation; you
can specify where the last line on the page will print when there is a paper out
condition. Setting this parameter correctly prevents printing on the platen.
