Settings Confirmation Mode
In addition to normal printing mode, there is also a self test mode and hexadecimal dump mode to
check the various printer settings.
Self-test Mode
The self test lets you know if your printer is operating properly. It checks the control circuits, printer
mechanisms, print quality, co ntrol software version, and DIP switch settings.
This test is independent of any other equipment or software, so it is a good idea to run it when you
fi
rst set up the printer and if you have any trouble. If the self tests work correctly, the problem is in
the other equipment or the software, not the printer.
