Epson 286 PLUS User Manual

The tests you select will run in the following manner unless you

change the Run time parameters:

Each test is performed one time (passbound)

The program waits if an error occurs

No errors are recorded to the printer, disk, or other device.

If you want to change the default Run time parameters, press 

F2

to move to the Run time parameters window. Press E

SC

 at any

time to exit and return to the submenu of diagnostic tests.

The first run time parameter specifies the mode in which to 

run

the test. You see this prompt:

Testing 

mode: (T)imebound /

(C)ontinuous / (P)assbound ? P

In Timebound mode, the program runs the tests for the amount

of time you specify; press 

T 

and then 

Enter.

In Continuous mode, the tests run until you interrupt them;

press C and 

Enter.

In Passbound mode, the program runs the tests the number of

times you specify. This is the default setting; press 

P, 

if

necessary, and 

Enter 

to select the mode.

The next option is:

Wait on error (Y/N) ? Y

Press Y, if necessary, and 

Enter 

if you want the program to pause

when an error occurs. This lets you view the error message, make
notes about it, and then press 

Enter 

to continue. (Y is the

default setting.)
