OUTPUT BIN TESTS
Feed Tests (output bins)
Use these tests to verify that media can be fed to the standard output bin. No information is printed on the

1. Touch to select Feed Tests from the OUTPUT BIN TESTS.
2. Touch to select the output bin you want the paper to exit into.
3. Touch to 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.
