Service Manual
Use these tests to verify that media can be fed to a specific output bin. Media is fed from the default input
source to the selected output bin. No information is printed on the media fed to the output bin because the
printhead is not engaged during this test. These tests can use any media size or envelope supported by the
printer.
Note: If the Configure Bins printer setting is Link rather than Mailbox, the printer selects its own internal bin
linking regardless of which output bin is selected for the feed test.
To run the Feed Tests for the output bins:
1. Select Feed Tests from the OUTPUT BIN TESTS.
2. Select the output bin you want the paper to exit into. The standard bin as well as any output option bin
installed on the printer is shown on the menu. (The output bins are displayed in the order installed on the
printer.)
3. Select either Single or Continuous.
•
Single – feeds one sheet of media from the selected source.
•
Continuous
– media continues feeding from the selected source until
Stop
is pressed.

Feed To All Bins
This test can be used to verify that the printer can feed media to the standard bin or any installed output
options. No information will be printed on the test pages, as the printhead is not engaged during the feed test.
The media feeds from the default paper source.
To run the Feed To All Bins Test:
Select
Feed To All Bins
from OUTPUT BIN TESTS.
The printer feeds a separate piece of media to the standard bin first, then it feeds a separate piece of media to
each output bin installed in the following order:
The test is continuous until Stop is pressed.
Press
Back
to return to OUTPUT BIN TESTS.
