LCD Test
Once the LCD Test setting is selected, the printer automatically performs the operator panel test. This test toggles each pixel in the operator panel through every contrast level, beginning with the darkest and ending with the lightest. Once the pixels are toggled, the backlight of the operator panel comes on, and then goes off. Non-
functioning pixels will appear as blank spaces during the test’s darker stages. Press

Button Test
The Button Test verifies the operation of each button on the operator panel. Press 
to select the Button Test from the HARDWARE TESTS menu. All of the buttons and the backlight illuminate, and PANEL TEST Press Count: 0 displays. Press

DRAM Test
The purpose of this test is to check the validity of DRAM, both standard and optional. The test writes patterns of data to SDRAM to verify that each bit in memory can be set and read correctly.
To run the SDRAM Memory Test:
1.Select DRAM Test from the menu. The power indicator blinks, indicating the test is in progress.
DRAM Test | xxxMb |
P:###### | F:##### |
|
|
xxxMb represents the amount of installed DRAM memory in MB.
P:###### represents the number of times the memory test has passed and finished successfully. Initially, 000000 displays with the maximum pass count being 999,999.
F:##### represents the number of times the memory test has failed and finished with errors. Initially, 00000 displays with the maximum fail count being 99,999.
2.Once the maximum pass count or fail count is reached, the test stops, the power indicator is turned on solid, and the final results display. If the test fails, then the message DRAM Error displays for approximately three seconds and the failure count increases by 1.
3.To stop the test before it completes, turn off the printer.
