Y-axis Belt Slip
This test does a chase using a special sheet of preprinted media and records the y-axis following
error.

Y-axis Belt Tension
This test modifies the y-Axis servo loop so that it is unstable and oscillates. The oscillation
frequency is recorded while the drum is advanced for two revolutions. Checks for correct belt
tension and for variations in tension during operation.
