Printing a Self Test

Running the printer's self test helps you determine whether the printer or the computer is causing the
problem:
❏ If the self test results are satisfactory, the printer is working properly and the problem is probably
caused by your printer driver settings, application settings, computer, or interface cable. (Be sure
to use a shielded interface cable.)
❏ If the self test does not print properly, there is a problem with the printer. See "Problems and
Solutions" on page 75 for possible causes and solutions to the problem.
Note:
❏ Prepare an A4 size sheet of paper before entering the self-test printing mode.
