I agree.

The possible errors listed in the original ZIP GS manual are 05xxxxxx,
0Bxxxxxx and 0Cxxxxxx.  The 05 error is avoided by enabling the counter
delay (SW1-4 OFF), but the other errors will probably still occur (the
0B error is intermittent, and may never appear with some ZIPs).

You can get a reliable test result by disabling the ZIP (SW1-6 OFF)
before running the self-test.

Turn the computer off before changing the switch settings.
