Testing the printer
Use paper that is at least 8.25 inches (210 mm) wide. Otherwise ink is sprayed directly on the platen and can smear subsequent pages.
1.Turn off the printer.
2.While holding down the Load/Eject button, press the Operate (
) button.
The self test begins by printing on the first and last lines of the first sheet of paper to measure the page length. Then it prints character samples using available fonts and colors on the next sheet of paper.
3.To end the self test, press the Pause button and turn off the printer by pressing the Operate button. Otherwise, the test continues until the paper in the input tray runs out.
Note:
Do not turn off the printer before pressing the Pause button.
If the quality of the test output is not good, clean the print heads as described in Chapter 4. It might take as many as three cleaning cycles to fully solve the problem.
