DMP-202  (260-2864)             Selftest                Faxback Doc # 4539

The DMP-202 has a built-in self-test function which checks the print 
quality and general printer operation before you begin using the printer. 
However, this test does not check the printer port.

Before running the self-test, be sure to load the printer with standard 
8.5" wide paper. The self test prints lines that are 8 inches long so this 
standard width paper protects the platen.

CAUTION: Printing on the platen can shorten the life of the platen and the 
print head.

To run the self test:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Press and hold [LF/FF] while you turn on the printer.

3. The printer initializes and then begins to print the 96 ASCII characters  
   preprogrammed into the printer. When the printer starts printing, 
   release the switch.

During the self test, the DMP-202 prints alternately in standard font for 
five lines and letter-quality font (Courier) for five lines in a continuous 
pattern.

To end the self test, press [OFF/OFF LINE] or turn off the printer.
