The Star Micronics printers that Epicuri uses have a self-print feature, which summarises the state of the printer.
To print the self-test on the thermal printer (650 series):
- Make sure the printer is plugged in, but not switched on
- Press the feed button, and keep it pressed
- Switch the printer on and continue to keep button pressed until the printer starts to output, then let go.
- The self-test will fire up within a few seconds. It will print some switch information first, pause, and then print network / IP settings
To print the self-test on the impact printer (700 series):
- Make sure the printer is plugged in, but not switched on
- Press the feed button, and keep it pressed
- Switch the printer on and release the button as soon as you hear a single beep (it happens fast!)
- The self-test will fire up within a few seconds. It will print some switch information first, pause, and then print network / IP settings
