DRAM Test

This test checks the validity of DRAM, both standard and optional. The test repeatedly writes patterns of data to the DRAM to verify that each bit in the memory can be set and read correctly.

To run the DRAM test:

  1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to: Hardware Tests > DRAM Test
  2. Testing… appears, followed by Resetting the Printer.
  3. After the printer resets, the results of the test appear: DRAM Test [x] P:###### F:######.
    • [x]—Represents the size of the installed DRAM.
    • P:######—Represents the number of times the memory test has passed and finished successfully, with the maximum pass count being 999,999.
    • F:#####—Represents the number of times the memory test has failed and finished with errors, with the maximum fail count being 999,999.
  4. After the maximum pass count or fail count is reached, or when all the DRAM has been tested, the test stops and the final results appear.

Serial Wrap Test

Use this test to check the operation of the Serial Port Hardware using a wrap plug. Each signal is tested. If the test fails, replace the controller board.

Each time the test finishes, the screen updates with the result. P and F represent the same numbers for DRAM. If the test passes, the Pass Count increases by 1. However, if the test fails, one of the following failure messages appears for approximately three seconds, and the Fail Count increases by 1:
  4. Press Stop (X) to cancel the test.
