Detailed Printer Self-Test
Self-test is user-selectable, verifies printer functions, and provides reporting
of printer diagnostics. It performs a series of internal diagnostics and prints
the results. When self-test begins, the beeper sounds for half a second and
all LEDs turn
on
for half a second.
Initiating Self-Test
Self-test is initiated by simultaneously pressing both the
LINE FEED
and
SET PAGE
buttons on the control panel, while the printer is idle or
asleep.
Terminating Self-Test
Self-test can be terminated manually, during the test, by simultaneously
pressing both the
LINE FEED
and
SET PAGE
buttons.
Self-Test Report
Note
: This method is recommended for determining printer functionality.
A self-test is equivalent to a warm start. Both are performed when you si-
multaneously press the
FORM FEED
and
SET PAGE
buttons on the
control panel for a few seconds. Release these buttons when the printer
beeps and all indicators are lit. If the buttons are held too long, the self-test
will not happen and the printer will form-feed one page.
As the self-test progresses, the indicator lights change. Internal tests are
performed and a 2-page report is printed. This report provides helpful in-
formation in diagnosing and troubleshooting printer problems
.
When the
self-test is performed, the following actions occur:
