DMP 106 (260-2802)              Selftest              Faxback Doc. # 4407

The DMP-106 has a built-in Self-Test feature which lets you check printing 
quality and general printer operation before you connect the Printer to your
computer. This is a good time to check that the Print Head is set properly
(printing is neither too faint nor smudged) and that paper is feeding 
correctly. The Self-Test will last for several minutes.

Before running the Self-Test, however, always be sure to load the DMP-106 
with wide paper (9.5" wide) since the test prints from one end of the Platen
to the other.

PRINTING ON THE PLATEN CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE PLATEN AND THE PRINT HEAD

To run the Self-Test:

1. Plug the Printer into an AC power outlet.

2. Set the ON-LINE/OFF-LINE Switch to ON-LINE.

3. Set the Power ON/OFF Switch to ON.

4. Press the ON-LINE/OFF-LINE Switch to set it to OFF-LINE while the Carriage
   is moving toward the left.

The Printer will begin printing Rolling ASCII 96 characters in Standard 
10 CPI mode.

5. Printing will continue until you turn the power OFF.
