writing patterns of data to DRAM to verify that each bit in memory can be set and read correctly.
To run the DRAM Test:
1. Touch HARDWARE TESTS from the Diagnostics Menu.
2. Touch DRAM Test .
DRAM Test Testing...
appears on the LCD, and then
Resetting the Printer
appears. The printer automatically performs a POR.
The following type of message appears:
•
P: ###### represents the number of times the memory test has passed and finished successfully.
Initially 000000 displays with the maximum pass count being 999,999.
•
F: ##### represents the number of times the memory test has failed and finished with errors. Initially
0000 displays with the maximum fail count being 99,999. Initially only four digits appear, but
additional digits appear as needed.
To stop this test before completion, turn the printer off.
CACHE Test
