Star SD15 Self-Test Problem
"This printer has a problem I am lost with.
When I power it up and attempt to have it perform the self-test
printout (FF on power up), the print head moves back and forth,
the paper feeds, but the pins don't actually fire. However, if I
connect the printer to a computer, the printing is just fine."
(From: Ralph Wade Phillips (ralphp@gcstation.net).)
Eh? On the SD-15, the FF SelfTest is for checking
HEAD MOVEMENT only. It sounds like it passes just fine!
Try holding down LINEFEED button instead. :-)
