Step 3:

Run a Self Test

Before proceeding, run a self test to check that the 

printer is operating correctly. This prints out a list of 

available fonts.

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold MODE and LF while 

turning on the printer. Release them 

when 

RELEASE SW

 appears on the 

second line of the display.

3. When the printer finishes initializing, 

the display will prompt you to insert paper.

4. Place a letter size or larger sheet of paper on the 

platform anywhere within the “Paper range when 

Auto Align is ON” area.  

The sheet feeds in. The first page of the test 

prints and the page is ejected back out onto 

the platform. The printer display then prompts 

you to insert paper.

5. Remove the printed sheet and insert a new sheet.

The sheet feeds in and the remainder of the test 

prints. The page is ejected.

The self test is complete.

Step 4:

Load Paper
