PRINT TESTS

The Print Test determines whether the printer can print on media from any of the paper input sources. Each of the
installed sources is available within the Print Tests menu.
The content of the test page varies depending on the media in the selected input source:
•
If the selected source contains paper, then a page similar to the Quick test page is printed, but without the print
registration diamonds.
•
If the selected source contains envelopes, then an envelope print test pattern is printed. This pattern contains only
text, which consists of continuous prints of each character in the selected symbol set. If Continuous is selected,
then the envelope print test pattern is printed on the first envelope; the rest are blank.
The Print Test page always prints single-sided, regardless of the duplex setting or the presence of the duplex option.
To run the Print Test:
1
From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to PRINT TESTS.

•
