Pattern Test
The pattern test is the basic verification of the printer's ability to produce
quality models, since it demonstrates the condition of the nozzles in the print
heads. Make sure, therefore, that you perform this test weekly, and whenever
you suspect a printing problem.
To perform the pattern test:
1. Make sure that the build tray is empty.
2. Prepare a sheet of pink paper—A-4 or Letter size.
3. In the printer, tape the pink paper to the surface left of the build tray.
4. Press F3, or open the Options menu and select Pattern Test.
5. If the build tray is not clear, click No in the following dialog box.
