1 Figure 6-3 Locating the engine-test-page switch The test page should have a series of horizontal lines. The test page prints from the last tray that the device used to print, unless the device has been turned off and then turned on again since the most recent print job. If the device has been turned off and then on again since the most recent print job, then the page will print from tray 2. The device continuously prints test pages as long as the test-page switch is depressed. The device will not print a test page if it is in Sleep mode. NOTE A damaged formatter might interfere with the engine test. If the engine test page does not print, try removing the formatter and performing the engine test again. If the engine test is then successful, the problem is in the formatter, the control panel, or the cable that connects them. Formatter test page To verify that the formatter is functioning, print a configuration page. See Use information pages on page 38. 166 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting ENWW

Locating the engine-test-page switch

The test page should have a series of horizontal lines. The test page prints from the last tray that the

device used to print, unless the device has been turned off and then turned on again since the most

recent print job. If the device has been turned off and then on again since the most recent print job, then

the page will print from tray 2. The device continuously prints test pages as long as the test-page switch

is depressed. The device will not print a test page if it is in Sleep mode.

NOTE

A damaged formatter might interfere with the engine test. If the engine test page does

not print, try removing the formatter and performing the engine test again. If the engine test is

then successful, the problem is in the formatter, the control panel, or the cable that connects

them.
