Self Test
The self test is used to check whether the printer is operating correctly.
Running the self test on a paper roll
1. Install the paper roll, and make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed
properly.
2. While holding down the PAPER FEED button, turn on the printer power. The self test prints
the printer settings and then prints the following, cuts the paper, and pauses. (The PAPER
OUT LED blinks.)
Self test printing.
Please press the PAPER FEED button.
3. Press the PAPER FEED button to continue printing. The printer prints a pattern using the
built-in character set.
4. The self test automatically ends and cuts the paper after printing the following:
***completed***
The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completes the self test.
Note:
To pause the self test manually, press the PAPER FEED button. Press the PAPER FEED button again to
continue the self test.
Running the self test on slip paper
Note:
❏
Be sure to install a paper roll to prevent slip paper jams.
❏
Use an A4 or U.S. letter size sheet for the test print.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.
2. While holding down the SLIP FEED button, turn on the printer to begin the self test. (The SLIP
LED blinks.)
3. Feed a sheet of slip paper (A4 or U.S. letter size) into the printer. The printer loads the paper
automatically, prints the printer settings, and then ejects the paper. (The SLIP LED blinks.)
4. Remove the paper from the printer and feed another sheet of slip paper into the printer to
print characters from the character table. Continue to feed slip paper (A4 or U.S. letter size)
into the printer until the self test prints the following:
***completed***
