To perform a self test, follow these steps:

1. Make sure paper is loaded and the printer is turned off.

Caution:

c Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least five seconds before turning it back on; otherwise you may damage the printer.

2.To run the test using the Draft font, hold down the LF/FF button while you press the Operate button to turn on the printer. To run the test using the printer’s near letter-quality fonts, hold down the Load/Eject button while you turn on the printer. Either self test can help you determine the source of your printing problem; however, the draft self test prints faster than the near letter-quality test.

After a few seconds, the printer loads the paper automatically and begins printing the self test. A series of characters is printed.

Note:

To temporarily stop the self test, press the Pause button. To resume the test, press the Pause button again.

3.To end the self test, press the Pause button to stop printing. If paper remains in the printer, press the Load/Eject button to eject the printed page. Then turn off the printer.

c	Caution:
	Do not turn off the printer while it is printing the self test.
	Always press the Pause button to stop printing and the
	Load/Eject button to eject the printed page before you turn off
	the printer.
