Hardware Tests; Panel Test; Button Test - Lexmark 6500E Service Manual

The content of the test page varies depending on the media installed in the selected input source.
•
If a source is selected that contains paper, then a page similar to the Quick Test Page is printed and does not contain
the Print Registration diamonds.
•
If a source is selected which contains envelopes, then an Envelope Print Test pattern is printed. This pattern contains
only text, which consists of continuous prints of each character in the selected symbol set.
• If Continuous is selected, then the same page prints continuously from the selected source until you press Stop. If
Continuous is selected from a source which contains envelopes, then the envelope print test pattern is printed on
the first envelope, and the rest are blank.
The Print Test page always prints single-sided, regardless of the Duplex setting or the presence of the Duplex option.
