Printing a Self Test
If you are having trouble printing, you can print a self test to
help you determine whether the printer or the computer is
causing the problem:
If the self test results are satisfactory, the printer is working
properly and the problem is probably caused by your
printer driver settings, application settings, computer, or
interface cable. (Be sure to use a shielded interface cable.)
If the self test does not print properly, there is a problem
with the printer. See “Problems and Solutions” on page 106
for possible causes and solutions to the problem.
Follow these steps to perform a self test:
1.
Make sure the printer is turned off and that paper is loaded
on the front or rear tractor.
c
Caution:
Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds
before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the
printer.
