Status Monitor

If you are printing with Windows 95 or a Macintosh, you can
use the Status Monitor to check the printer's current status. For
more details, see Chapter 4, "Using the Printer Software for
Windows", or Chapter 6, "Using the Printer Software for
Macintosh."

Self testing

Self testing can help you determine whether the problem comes
from the printer or the computer.
To perform a self test, follow these steps:
Note:
Make sure that paper is loaded in the sheet feeder before starting
the self test.
Make sure the paper-release lever is set to the single sheet position.
Use paper at least 210 mm (8.27 inches) wide; for example A4
size paper loaded short edge first. Otherwise, the print head will
spray ink directly onto the platen, which could mar future
printouts.
