Epson FX-86e Benutzerhandbuch

Also remember that control codes in your document will override the

SelecType settings. Therefore, if you have a code for NLQ in your

document and you press the 

SelecType button, your printing

will still be in NLQ.

The FX has a built-in self test that prints out the characters in its

memory so that you can see that the printer is working properly.

The self test also prints the settings of the printer’s DIP switches.

You’ll use this part of the printout in the last section of this chapter.

Before running the self test, make sure that the power is OFF and

paper is loaded in the printer. (Use wide paper in the FX-286e to avoid

printing on the platen.)

To run the self test in the Near Letter Quality (NLQ) mode, hold

down the 

button at the same time you turn the printer on.

When the printing starts, release the 

button.

The self test first prints the version number of the printer and several

lines of settings that are explained in the last section of this chapter.

Then it prints the characters from its memory. The test continues until

you turn the printer off. Part of a typical self test is shown below.
