3.13 Running the Self Test
Your plotter is provided with a self test function that enables it to check its own functions. Because a correctly
drawn self test pattern signifies that all of the functions of the plotter (excluding the interface settings) have
been tested and found normal, this function is useful for determining whether the source of a problem lies in
the plotter itself or in the connection between the plotter and computer.
CAUTION
The pen starts moving as soon as the SELF TEST mode is selected by pressing the [F2] key (YES).
To avoid injury to yourself and damage to the plotter, keep your hands, face, and other obstacles out of
the vicinity of the pen carriage and Y bar.

Replace the cutter pen at the pen carriage’s pen holder with a plotting pen and load paper in the plotter.
