Half self-test
Perform a half self-test to determine which image-formation process might be malfunctioning.
NOTE:
It might be easier to perform the print/stop test to stop the product during the printing process.
See
Print/stop test on page
1.
Print a configuration page from the control panel.
2.
Open the cartridge door after the paper advances half-way through the product, which is about 3
to 5 seconds after the main motor begins to rotate. The leading edge of the paper should have
advanced past the toner cartridge.
3.
Remove the toner cartridge.
4.
Open the toner cartridge drum shield to view the drum surface.
If a dark and distinct toner image is present on the drum surface, assume that the cleaning,
conditioning, writing, and developing functions of the electrophotographic process are functioning
correctly. Troubleshoot the failure as a transfer or fusing problem. If no image is present on the
drum, perform the drum rotation test check.
