4.2. The self test
The self test procedure will check most of the printer functions. For self test, turn on the
power while holding down the FEED Button. The Self-Test checks the following :
1) Make sure paper roll has been installed properly.
2) The Self-Test prints the current printer status, which provides the control ROM
version and the communication method setting.
3) After printing the current printer status, Self-Test will print a pattern using the
built-in character set.
4) The Self-Test automatically ends.
The printer is ready to receive data as soon as it completed the self test.
