Print quality pages (Prt Quality Pgs)
The print quality test pages can be printed from either the Diagnostics mode or Configuration Menu
(CONFIG MENU). When printed from the Diagnostic mode, additional information is included, and the
print cartridge lockout is bypassed.
The print quality pages consist of four pages. Page one contains a mixture of graphics and text. Page two
is gray with two one inch black squares located on the bottom right. Page three is solid black page and
page four is blank. If duplex is turned on, the pages are duplexed. The Print Quality Test pages are
printed in English and must always be printed on letter, legal, or A4 paper.
To run the Print Quality Test Pages, select Prt Quality Pgs from PRINT TESTS. The message Printing
Quality Test Pages is displayed.
The following is included in the DIAGNOSTICS version of the first print quality test page:
• Device information
• Printer revision levers
• Carterie information
• Printer margin settings
• EP setup
• Printer setup
• Minimum stroke width
Note: The print quality test pages can also be printed from the Configuration menu (CONFIG MENU),
however a cartridge must be installed with a machine class ID matching the machine class ID stored in
NVRAM. The CONFIG MENU print quality test pages are identical to the DIAGNOSTIC print quality test
pages with the exception of the first page. The first print quality test page from the CONFIG MENU does
not include EP or Printer setup.
