For example, if the print appears very light on the paper, look at Section Print-

related Problems.

2. Find the symptom description that most closely matches the printer symptom.

In this example you would look at the symptom "Print faint or of poor quality."

3. Try the first suggestion under that heading.

4. If the suggestion does not cure the problem, try the next suggestion.

5. If none of the suggestions enable you to continue printing, or if the fault is not

listed, contact your service.

Each time the printer is switched ON the display indicates TEST while the

internal self-tests are run. If the test is completed successfully
