Abstract

PURPOSE:To check plural functions of the recording device by performing test printing operation for sheets of paper of different size or thickness. CONSTITUTION:A paper feeding means selection flag 27 is set to ''1'' firstly and a print sequence by an electrophotographic method is started. Then when an internal pattern generator 11 is turned on, its output signal is inputted to a laser driver 9 through an OR circuit 10 to turn on a laser 8. Then, a supply instruction signal 25 is outputted to feed paper by a paper feeding means 25, but the kind of paper se in the paper feeding means 5 is already known, so three kinds of different-thickness paper of A4 size, three kinds of different-thickness paper of A5 size, and then three kinds of different-thickness paper of A5 size, for example, are printed in order. Then, the internal pattern generator 11 is turned off and the paper feeding means selection flat 27 is reset to return to a main routine.
