Self-test
The built-in self-test function demonstrates that the printer works
properly. You can run the test with either tractor paper or cut sheet; this
section describes the easiest way of ASCII self-test with cut sheet.

run the self-test; otherwise, the print head would print directly on
the platen.

cut sheet position. Raise the rear cover.










2 While holding down the TEAR key, turn on the printer. The Paper Out
and ONLINE LEDs blink which indicates the printer is out of paper.
3. Adjust the right paper guide of the rear cover to the range of the scale.
Then adjust the left paper guide to make the distance match the width of
the paper.
4. Please adjust the gap adjust lever according to the paper thickness.
The factory default setting is suitable for standard office paper.
5. Slide a piece of cut sheet down firmly between the right and left paper
guides until it meets resistance. The printer loads the cut sheet
automatically and begins printing when pressing ONLINE key.













6. Press the ONLINE key to pause the printing.
7. To end the self test, make sure the printer is not printing. Press LF/FF
or LOAD/EJECT key to eject cut sheet; then turn off the printer.
