Internal print-quality test pages Cleaning page If you are experiencing toner specks or dots on the printouts, clean the paper path. This process uses a transparency to remove dust and toner from the paper path. Do not use bond or rough paper. NOTE: For best results use a sheet of transparency. If you do not have any transparencies, you can use copier-grade paper (60 to 163 g/m2 (16 to 43 lb)) that has a smooth surface. 1. Make sure that the product is idle and the ready light is on. NOTE: If the product is in the auto-off state, the ready light is off. 2. Load paper in the input tray. 3. Open the product Properties. 4. Click the Device Settings tab. 5. In the Cleaning Page area, click the Start button to process the cleaning page. NOTE: The cleaning process takes about 2 minutes. The cleaning page stops periodically during the cleaning process. Do not turn the product off until the cleaning process has finished. You might need to repeat the cleaning process several times to thoroughly clean the product. Configuration page The configuration page lists current product settings and properties. It also contains a status log report. To print a configuration page, do the following: 1. Open the printer driver, and then click the Properties or Preferences button. 2. Click the Services tab, and then, in the Print Information Pages drop-down list, click the Config Page list item. 3. Click the Print button. On wireless models, you can print the configuration page from the product control panel. ▲ At the control panel, press and hold the cancel button until the ready light starts blinking, and then release the button. 102 Chapter 3 Solve problems ENWW
