This chapter describes the print tests you can perform to:
v
Check information on the operator panel keys and the configuration menu.
v
Demonstrate printer capabilities
v
Check the version code level of your printer
v
Check your printer configuration values
v
Change and check printer adjustments for each forms path.
Any of these tests can be performed at anytime. However, all tests should be
performed when there is no print data buffered and the printer is not processing
data. When you use the Operator Print Tests, the printer goes
offline. When you
exit test mode, the printer performs a partial reset before going back online. This
partial reset clears any buffered print data and anything stored in printer storage.
Entering the Operator Print Tests may cause the forms configuration values to be
adjusted. If the current values are less than a maximum print position of 72 or a
maximum page length of 66, the printer will adjust the values. This is done to
ensure correct formatting of all offline customer tests. A form that is at least
210 mm x 297 mm (8.27 x 11.70 in.) is needed to run any of the operator print
tests. The original values will be reset when the printer returns to the online state.
If the values are larger than the required page dimensions, the values are not
changed.
