AR-M236/M276/M237/M277  SIMULATION 8 - 50

The fixed data received from the line are checked and the result is dis-
played. 

When data are coincident, "OK" is displayed. When not, "NG" is dis-
played. 

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

Signal detection is checked and the result is displayed. 

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

The send/receive test is performed, and the time required for send/
receive of the image data in the test is measured and displayed.

When there are two or more send/receive operations of image data in
one communication, only the time of the last send/receive data near
the end is measured.

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

The following test sound is delivered to the line and the speaker to
adjust the sound kind and volume.

The send level to the line is the set value of soft SW.

The set values of the selected sound kind and volume are written to
each soft SW.

Sound volume pattern

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

When the [START] key is pressed, the call signal from CI pin is
detected to deliver the call sound to the line and the speaker. The vol-
ume of call sound follows the soft SW.

Signal detection and delivery of pseudo-call sound at detection are
executed until the interruption command is provided by pressing the
[CUSTOM SETTINGS] key.

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

Select the item to be set with the [#/P] key (scroll) and the 10-key.

Press the [START] key.

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

Press the [START] key. 

Read/write check of the RAM on the PCL board is performed and the
result is displayed.

The presence of DIMM is detected. If there is no DIMM, "---" is dis-
played. If there is, read/write check is performed and the result is dis-
played.

The display of "---" is changed to "C-CHECKING," "OK," or "NG"
according to the message number included in the continuation com-
mand.

When the simulation is completed normally, "COMPLETE" is dis-
played. (No display for abnormal completion.)

Since only the devices installed to the PCL board are checked when
the simulation is started, the display may not be changed from "---."
(No message is sent for an uninstalled device.)

(Initial display)

Pressing the [INTERRUPT] key shifts the display to the previous
menu. Pressing the [CA] key leads to resetting. Pressing the [C] key,
and the [CUSTOM SETTINGS] key is invalid. (Beep sound) 

(Display during execution)

During execution, the [INTERRUPT] key, [C] key, and the [CA] key are
invalid. (Beep sound). The [CUSTOM SETTINGS] key produces a
valid sound only.

(Check end display)

After execution, the [INTERRUPT]  key and the [C] key are invalid.
(Beep sound). Pressing the [CA] key leads to resetting. The [CUSTOM
SETTINGS] key produces a valid sound only.

After completion of the simulation, reset the machine.

Enter the set value with the 10-key, and press the [START] key.

* Execution of the simulation which performs communication with the

PCL board is inhibited until Notice Page storage is completed. (Only
when the serviceman call error occurs.)

* In the other case than the serviceman call error, entering the simula-

tion is inhibited during the system check operation is displayed.

Note: Executable only when the PCL is installed.

Press the [START] key.
"PLEASE SEND DATA" and "RADY" are displayed. (When the
NIC board is installed, it takes some time to display "READY.")

Data are sent from the PC (MS-DOS) by use of "fcopy" command
(FCOPY: file name).

Used to overwrite and check the flash device while displaying its
process status.
