sensor. Jobs can be initiated from the control

 

panel or sent from the computer.

features of the printer, such as the configuration

 

of the trays.

This item allows a service representative to test

 

the paper path sensors and switches for correct

 

operation.

 

 

COMPONENT TEST

This item will activate individual parts

 

independently to isolate noise, leaking, and other

 

hardware issues.

 

 

PRINT/STOP TEST

This item isolates print quality faults more

 

accurately by stopping the printer in mid-print

 

cycle. Stopping the printer in mid-print cycle will

 

cause a jam that may need to be manually

 

removed. A service representative should

 

perform this test.
