Stratasys J850 Manual page 114

The printer application contains a suite of tests for regularly checking the
hardware and software, and for troubleshooting.
Because running the tests affects the operation of the printer, you can only
open the Built-in Tests interface when the system is not printing.
The test suite features:
• The organization of printing-related tasks in categories:
❒ Communications
❒ Data cards
❒ Temperatures
❒ Voltages
❒ Encoder repeatability
❒ Print-head heating
❒ Print-head filling
• A clear display of test results and the source of any failures, enabling you
to determine if printing is possible or worthwhile.
• The ability to monitor test results for specific components.
• Troubleshooting tips
Running these tests can help identify problems in the printer hardware and
software. A large number of hardware defects (or near-defects) warns you of
possible printing problems, either for current or future jobs.
