Testing the Printer
You can run a self test to determine whether the problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
❏
If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in your
software settings, the network and configuration, or your
computer.
❏
If the self test does not print correctly, you have a problem
with your printer.
Follow these steps to run the test:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the network cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
Caution:
Load paper that’s at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This
prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your
printouts.
