Diagnosing Problems
Your printer includes a number of ways to help you diagnose
problems:
To identify the most common problems, check the lights
on the printer's control panel. See page 1-13 for
instructions.
You can also use the Status Monitor utility to identify
common problems. For instructions, see page 4-4
(Windows 95) or page 4-7 (Macintosh).
To determine whether the problem is caused by the printer
itself, run a printer self test. See the next section for
instructions.
