PRINTER MAINTENANCE
P r i n t e r S e l f T e st
Think-Jet printers have two forms of self test; printing and non-printing.
The non-printing self test checks the CPU, timers, internal and external RAM,
and internal and external ROM.
The test occurs when the power is switched on,
or at the first part of the printing self test. The yellow attention light
blinks twice during the non-printing self test.
If the printer fails the non-printing self test, the processor pins that
control dot firing are used to report the part of the test that failed. Power
to the print head is turned off at this point; dots are not actually fired.
The printing self test can be invoked in two ways. One way is to send an ESC
z.
All data in the buffer is printed, the non-printing self test is executed,
and paper is advanced to the top of the form if it is not already there.
Think-Jet printers execute the not-printers self test, and if the test is
passed print a self test pattern.
The other
