Testing the printer
Use paper that is at least 8.25 inches (210 mm) wide. Otherwise
ink is sprayed directly on the platen and can smear subsequent
pages.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. While holding down the Load/Eject button, press the
Operate ( ) button.
The self test begins by printing on the first and last lines of
the first sheet of paper to measure the page length. Then it
prints character samples using available fonts and colors on
the next sheet of paper.
3. To end the self test, press the Pause button and turn off the
printer by pressing the Operate button. Otherwise, the
test continues until the paper in the input tray runs out.
Note:
Do not turn off the printer before pressing the Pause button.
If the quality of the test output is not good, clean the print
heads as described in Chapter 4. It might take as many as
three cleaning cycles to fully solve the problem.
