How do I check a HP82143A Printer without a 41 Message #1 Posted by menno on 25 Apr 2000, 4:17 a.m. Hello, This weekend I got a HP82143A in very good condition, compleet with 220V ac-adapter. How can I check if the thermal head is working without a 41 attached ? Is there a self-test for this device ? I don't want to risk a 41 by just connecting it. thanks, Menno

Just connect printer to calculator -- make sure that both divices are OFF--. Set mode switch of the printer on "TRACE" or "NORM", and turn on calculator and printer. Press a key on the calculator. It should be printed by the printer. Connect printer to highest port of the calculator. I/O ports [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]

I did that on previous replay, but the massageboard put them next to each other. Erwin
