2.Print a test page offline.

Press the button to put the printer offline (the ONLINE indicator turns off). Press the button for more than five seconds. The message display indicates SELF TEST and the DATA indicator flashes. A status report page is printed. Check that the printing is successful.

Notice:

The status report is for either the PCL emulation or the FPS emulation depending on the emulation you used for printing the last document; however, the status report is for the FPS emulation if it is printed immediately after the printer is turned on. To clearly select the report, use the test menu in setup mode.
