To run the self test in the Letter Quality mode, hold down the
LETTER QUALITY button while you turn the power switch ON. To
run the test in the draft mode, hold down the DRAFT button while
turning the power ON. The self test then takes over.
The self test prints a version identification number, the name of the
installed typeface family, then (as you can see in Figure 1-13) all of the
characters in the selected character set.
The self test continues until you turn the printer off or until it runs
out of paper.

Connecting Your Printer to Your Computer
Your LQ printer comes equipped with separate connections
for
both
serial and parallel interfaces, so be sure to use the type your
computer requires. Check your computer’s documentation if you’re
unsure which interface you have. (If your computer requires a
different type of interface, see your Epson dealer.)
