Testing the Printer

You can run a printer operation check to determine whether
the problem comes from the printer or some other source.
If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in your
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the check page does not print correctly, you have a
problem with your printer. See the Printer Basics book for
possible solutions.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
Caution:
Load paper that's at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide.
This prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and
smudging your printouts.
