Test Pattern
When trouble related to printing (such as picture quality or printing precision) has
occurred, having this pattern output in the field can become the basis for identifying
the cause of the problem from the maintenance manual.
In A3 size, it is a 7-colour pattern showing picture quality and printing precision.
When plotting with A0 media mounted, in addition to the A3 size pattern, the J line
pattern will be printed over the entire width in the Y direction.
1. Make sure no data are being received then mount an A3 or larger sheet of cut
media or roll media in the printer.
2. Start printing by pressing [Shift]+[PLOT LAYOUT] at the same time.
During printing, [Printing ] will appear in the liquid crystal display unit.
When the image quality faults shown below have occurred, you can investigate
the type of problem by consultation based on reports using the location numbers
on the consultation pattern.
