DMP 203 (26-2880)           Self Test                  Faxback Doc. # 4158


To check the printer's operation and print quality, we recommend you run 
the printer's self test before you connect it to your computer.

Follow these steps to run the self test.

1. Load standard, 8.5" wide paper.

CAUTION: The self test prints lines that are 8 inches long, so you must use
8.5" wide paper to protect the platen.

2. Set the POWER switch to OFF.
3. Press and hold down LF/FF while you set the POWER switch to ON. When
   printing begins, release the LF/FF switch.

   The printer repeatedly prints the 96 ASCII characters--alternately in
   data-processing (DP) and letter-quality (LQ) modes.

4. To end the self test, press ON/OFF-LINE or turn off the printer.
