Note Testing Your Printer Using the printer's control panel, you can run the following tests to get information about your printer's current settings, options, and print quality. (If PostScript is installed, you can also print three PostScript tests. See Chapter 6, "PostScript Printing," for more information.) • Self Test • Continuous Self Test When you run a self test, the printer checks its internal controller and I/O interface, then prints a test page. You can review the self test printout to verify proper installation of such options as paper trays or personalities. You can also use the self test printout to view current print density and Resolution Enhancement settings and harmonize them. Printing a Test Page You print all test pages from the printer control panel's Test Menu. To print a test page: 1 Press [On Line] to take the printer off line. 2 Press [Menu] until TEST MENU appears. 3 Press [Item] until the test you want to print appears. 4 Press [Enter] to print the test. 5 Press [On Line] to place the printer back on line. When you select CONT SELF TEST, the printer prints self test pages continuously until you press [Shift] + [Continue] or [On Line]. Understanding the Self Test Printout Figure 5-1 is a sample self test printout. Numbers in the sample printout match numbers in the key to the printout on the following page. The appearance of the self test printout varies depending on the options currently installed in your printer. Special Tasks 5-3
