are active. However, during Continuous tests, you can press Stop to cancel the test.

Feed To All Bins

This test is used to verify that the device can feed media to all installed output destinations. No information is
printed on the feed test pages since the printhead LED is not engaged during this test.

PRINT TESTS

This menu's settings enable a user to test the device's ability to generate printed output from each of its installed
input sources and to test the device's current print quality.

[Input Source] Print Test

After a user selects an input source to test, the panel displays two testing options: Single or Continuous. A
Single test feeds one sheet of media from the selected input and prints a test page on it; the Continuous test
continuously feeds media from the selected input and prints test pages until the user presses Stop. During a
Single test, none of the panel's buttons are active while the test page prints.

Print Quality Pages (Diagnostics Menu)

This setting enables a user to view the values of a broad range of the device's settings and to test the device's
ability to generate acceptable printed output.

PRINTER SETUP

Configuration ID

This setting enables a user to change both Configuration ID 1 and Configuration ID 2.

Mono and Color Page Count

The values of these settings enable a user to gauge the amount and type of usage on a device. The Mono Page
Count setting's value will equal the value of the Picked Sides meter. The Color Page Count setting's value will
equal the value of the Total Color sub-meter within the Imaged Printed Sides meter.

Parallel Strobe Adjustment (all parallel ports)

This setting enables the user to adjust the amount of time the strobe is sampled in order to determine if valid
data is available on the parallel port. Each time this value is incremented by 1, the strobe is sampled 50
nanoseconds longer. Each time this value is decreased by 1, the strobe is sampled 50 nanoseconds less. When
the value of this setting is 0, the factory default value is used to determine the length of time the strobe is
sampled.
