Printer Self Testing and Diagnostics
Printer Self-Testing
The POSjet
®
1500 has been designed to perform several self-tests and will also allow a technician to access the
printer’s configuration settings. It is important to insure that the printer will perform a self-test. This isolates printing
problems to something other than the operation of the printer itself. The POSjet
®
has a total of ten self-test options
with four designed to be useful when performing on-site evaluations. These four tests are the only options that
should be used to test your printer. The other six testing options are used for printer demonstrations and factory
setup by TransAct. Use the following four test options when trying to correct a printing problem.
Use the following testing options when beginning to troubleshoot and repair the POSjet
®
1500.
TEST-Receipt
The receipt test is the primary test option to use when determining if the printer is functioning correctly. The receipt
test is mostly used during the early stages of troubleshooting to eliminate the possibility that the problem is
occurring with the printer. If the printer experiences a failure, and the
is activated, call
TransAct’s Ithaca Facility’s Technical Support Department.
TEST-Print Configuration
The print configuration test is a quick and easy way for you to see how your printer has been configured at the
factory without actually having to enter into configuration mode. A large percentage of initial installation and setup
problems can be attributed to the printer’s configuration not matching the user’s system settings. Using this test will
show you the current configuration settings of the printer.
TEST-Validation
Validation test will validate the back of a check or inserted form. Nine lines of validation information will be
printed.
TEST-Check Test
Check test will perform the check insertion process and print a sample check test.
