In this chapter, you will find all the information you need to carry out a few simple checks that you may be asked to run by your Evolis reseller to help
you as effectively as possible.
Printing a Technical Test Card
The technical test card must be printed when you receive the machine to ensure that your printer is working properly. This card shows various items of
technical information about the machine (serial number, firmware, cleaning operations, print head, etc.). You may be asked for these by your reseller.
