Chapter 5. Using the Operator Print Tests

This chapter describes the print tests you can perform to:
Demonstrate printing capabilities
Adjust printer operations
Check the printer configuration
Check printer operation.
Any of these tests can be performed at anytime. However, all tests
should be performed when there is no print data buffered in the
printer processing. When you go into test mode, the printer goes
offline. When you exit test mode, the printer performs a partial reset
before going back online. This partial reset clears any buffered print
data and anything stored in printer storage, such as downloaded
fonts or overlays.
Entering the Operator Print Tests may cause the forms configuration
settings to be adjusted. If the current settings are less than a
maximum print position of 72 or a maximum page length of 66, the
printer will adjust the settings to a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page.
This is done to ensure correct formatting of all offline customer tests.
The original settings will be reset when the printer returns to the
online state. If the settings are larger than the required page
dimensions, the settings are not changed.
