Printing the Self-test
Use this option to print a variety of preset test images that can be helpful in ensuring your

for proper operation of the Printer.

The standard self-test function requires only that a full-color print Ribbon and at least one
card be installed. (

The Printer will begin printing this image as soon as the image
