Running a printer operation check
If you are unable to determine the source of the problem,
performing a printer operation check can help you determine
whether the problem comes from the printer or the computer.
To print a printer operation check page, follow these steps.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the cable from the printer’s interface connector.
3. Make sure that A4 or Letter size paper is loaded in the sheet
feeder.
4. Hold down the
b
maintenance button and press the
P
power button to turn on the printer. Release only the
P
power button. After the printer starts the operation check,
release the
b
maintenance button.
The printer will print an operation check page which includes the
version of your printer’s ROM, the ink counter code, and a nozzle
check pattern.
