< How to Run a Test Print >

Turn on the power while pressing the CLEANING switch. The buzzer will ring and
the green status lamp will flash. Press the CLEANING switch again. The status
lamp will switch to orange and will flash. Insert a card in this state. This will cause
the  system  to  automatically  write  data  to  the  magnetic  stripe  and  to  read  data
therefrom. The test results will be printed, and the card will be discharged. The
results of reading and writing to the magnetic stripe, the setting rank of the erase/
print heads, the status of the EEPROM setting, the type of interface being used
and the ROM version are printed in order for the test results.

Use a PET type card with the predetermined magnetic stripe on both sides to run
a test print.

When performing a test print, magnetic data for the test is written to the card.

Use a card whose magnetic stripe can be overwritten without causing a problem.

(Use a card that is right for the print settings on the card reader/writer.)

Note:  A USB cable is not an accessory part. Purchase one that meets specifications.
