This menu displays only if the output bin is installed. Specifies if the duplexer is included when the test is performed. Specifies how many sheets of paper from the specified source are sent when the test is performed. Tests the paper path sensors and switches for correct operation. During this test, the MFP is offline. On the control-panel display, each sensor is represented by a string of alphabetic letters followed by a corresponding status for each sensor. Performs tests to determine whether the paper path sensors are operating correctly. This menu item is used by a service technician to exercise individual parts of the MFP to isolate the source of any problems. ENWW
