3-6. New Service Test Pattern

The new Service Test Pattern that focuses on the use in servicing has been adopted, where the items
unnecessary for servicing have been eliminated and the EEPROM information has been added instead.
Compared with the previous pattern, the new pattern is more visible and prints in a shorter time.
