Diagnostic and Special Pages
There may be times when you want to check the current status of
your printer, adjust the quality of your printed copy, or monitor print
jobs. To help you do this, the printer has several types of diagnostic
and special pages. These include the start-up page, status pages
(standard and advanced), the registration, and sample pages, and the
header and trailer pages.
The Start-up Page

4 minutes (unless you disable this feature). This page gives the fol-
lowing information about the printer:
