Printer Tests

These tests are used to check the print quality and operation of the printer.

NOTE: Your authorized service representative will typically run the tests. They are described in more detail in the Maintenance Manual.

•Checkerboard. This pattern helps identify marginal printhead elements, quality of edge sharpness, and uneven print quality.

•Grey. This pattern helps identify burned out printhead elements and uneven print quality.

•Grid. This pattern helps identify edge sharpness and uneven print quality.

•Current Config. Prints the current printer configuration and helps identify the text print quality.

•Left Test. This pattern contains a series of ladder-type bar code symbols. The first prints four ladder symbols and the last prints a single ladder symbol. This pattern helps to identify ribbon wrinkle problems.

•Right Test. This pattern contains a series of ladder-type bar code symbols, starting with four, and decrementing by one symbol on each print until a single symbol prints. This pattern helps to identify ribbon wrinkle problems.

•E-Net Test Page. Prints the Ethernet statistics stored on the Ethernet adapter (if present).
