Printing the Service Configuration Plot

To print the service configuration plot:

1In service mode 2, load a sheet in portrait orientation. In normal mode, load a sheet in portrait orientation.

The service configuration plot can be plotted without the need to enter the service mode. This is because the customer will be requested to plot the service configuration plot and he will be given the following instructions to plot it without entering the service mode.

2When the Ready LED lights up, press the Print Quality and Media Type keys.

3The Ready light begins to flash and then remains on (steady).

The Printer plots the service configuration plot and ejects the media.

4Unload the media.
