Print Tests
The purpose of the diagnostic Print Tests is to verify that the printer can print on media from each of the installed input options. Each of the installed options is listed in the following order in the menu:
For each input source selected, the following choices are available:
Single (prints the Print Test Page once).
Continuous (continue printing the Print Test Page until Return or Stop is pressed).
•Tray 1 = Single, Tray 1 = Continuous
•Tray 2 = Single, Tray 2 = Continuous (if installed)
•Tray 3 = Single, Tray 3 = Continuous (if installed)
•MP Feeder = Single, MP Feeder = Continuous
The contents of the Print Test Page vary depending on the media installed in the selected input source. If a source is selected that contains Paper, Legal, Letter and so on, a page similar to the Quick Test Page is printed. However, the page does not contain the print registration diamonds. If an input source is selected which contains envelopes, an Envelope Print Test pattern is printed. This pattern contains text only, consisting of continuous prints of each character in the selected symbol set.
If continuous is selected, all sources printing with paper sizes print the same page continuously until the test is stopped. If continuous is selected for a source containing envelopes, the envelope print test pattern prints on the first envelope and subsequent envelopes are blank.
Note: The Print Test Page may be printed on any paper or envelope size, however more than one sheet of some media sizes may be required. The Print Test Page is always simplexed, regardless of duplex settings or the presence of the duplex unit.
