The content of the Print Test page varies depending on the media installed in the selected input source. If a source is selected that contains paper (that is, letter, legal, and so on), then a page similar to the Quick Test page is printed. However, it does not contain the Print Registration diamonds. If a source is selected which contains envelopes, then an Envelope Print Test pattern is printed. This pattern only contains text, which consists of continuous prints of each character in the selected symbol set.
If Continuous is selected, all sources printing with paper sizes prints the same page continuously until the test is stopped. If Continuous is selected for a source which contains envelopes, then the envelope print test pattern is printed on the first envelope and subsequent envelopes are blank.
Note: The Print Test page can be printed on any paper or envelope size. However, more than one sheet of some media sizes may be required.
While the page is printing the following message is displayed. The Power indicator also blinks while the page is printing.
