PRINT TESTS

This test determines if the printer can print on paper from any of the input trays. Each installed tray is available
within the Print Tests menu.
The content of the test page varies depending on the paper in the selected input tray.
•
If the selected tray contains paper, then a page similar to the Quick Test page is printed but without the print
registration diamonds information.
•
If the selected tray contains envelopes, then an envelope print test pattern is printed. If Continuous is
selected, then the envelope print test pattern is printed on the first envelope and the rest of the envelopes
are blank.
The Print Test page always prints one-sided, regardless of the duplex setting or the presence of the duplex
option.
