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 allows you to see

 

where the image begins to degrade. 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.

Use this page to print a color band test page that is used to identify arcing in

 

the high-voltage power supply.
