The printer prints a series of lines on the test paper (see next figure).

6. Carefully inspect the test paper to see if there are missing lines.
Too many missing lines, especially if they are in the same area, indicates
that the quality of printing when producing models will be poor. If this is
the case, see "Improving Print Quality" on the next page.
Note:
Acceptable model quality is subjective, and depends on the type and
scale (size) of the models produced. As a rule, however, more than 10
missing lines in one area of a column is considered unacceptable.
