Your printer provides a number of ways to help you diagnose
problems:
To identify the most common problems, read the lights on
the printer's control panel. See the following section for
more information.
You can also use the Status Monitor utility to identify
common problems. For instructions, see page 1-5
(Windows 95) or page 4-8 (Macintosh).
To determine whether the problem is caused by the printer
itself, run a self test. See page 6-3 for instructions.
