Print Quality Test Pages

This setting enables you to view the values of a broad range of the device's settings and to test the device's
ability to generate acceptable printed output.
The printer automatically generates four pages in English. The device always uses the media that is currently
installed in Tray 1 to print this report. Once started, printing cannot be canceled and all key presses are ignored
until printing completes.
If Duplex is activated, this report will be printed on both sides of the paper; otherwise, it will be printed on the
front sides of the paper only.
