1.9 Self test

The self test let you know if your printer is operating properly. It checks the printing quality, ROM version,
DIP Switch settings, memory switch settings and statistic data.
The test is independent of any other equipment or software, so it is a good idea to run it when you first set
up the printer or if you have any trouble. If the self test works correctly, the problem is in the other
equipment or the software, not the printer.
Running the self test
1) Make sure the printer is turned off and the printer cover is closed properly.
2) While holding down the FEED button, turn on the printer and continue to hold until the paper begins to
feed. The self test prints the printer DIP Switch settings and memory switch settings.
And cuts the paper and pauses. (The power light blinks.)
3) Press the FEED button to continue printing the statistic data.
4) Press the FEED button to continue printing the rolling ASCII pattern.
5) The self test mode terminates after printing the rolling ASCII pattern automatically.
