Printing test prints on the Phaser 740 printer
The prints printed via the front panel are generated by the image processor. While
the printer is idle you can use the front panel to print an image stored in the image
processor such as the Configuration Page.
Print service test prints
The service prints allow you to evaluate the printer’s print quality. Service Print 1 is
four pages of 25% tint primary color fills and one page of all for colors at 25% fill.
Service Print 2 prints a 600 and 1200 dpi test pattern as well as a solid-fill red print.

The print engine can print a test print independent of the image processor. The print
is a composite gray fill composed of cyan, magenta and yellow toner. No black toner
is used in the print.

Press and hold for 4 seconds the Test Print button in the center of the upper
rear cover.
This verifies the print engine’s ability to print independent of the image processor. Do
not use this print to verify print quality. Since the print engine defaults to the top tray
as a paper source, the Test Print function will not work with the auto-duplex unit
installed.
