Diagnostic Functions
The printer diagnostic functions are Self-Test page, hex-dump mode and print alignment adjustment.
 Self-Test page: Tells you whether the printer hardware is functioning correctly. If the printer hardware
is functional, any problems you are having are probably caused by incorrect printer settings, incorrect
software settings, the interface, or the computer.
 HEX-DUMP MODE: Allows you to determine whether the computer is sending the correct commands
to the printer, and whether the printer is executing the commands correctly. This function is useful to
programmers or others who understand how to interpret hex dumps.
 PRINTING ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT: Allows you to check and, if necessary, correct the printer’s
vertical line print alignment in bi-directional mode.
For details on using these functions, please refer to chapters 4 and 5.
