Diagnostics and Tests
The following information is provided:
- The printer's selected emulation and firmware release.
- The type of print head installed.
- Whether the nozzles are operating correctly (Print Head Test).
If the test finds that the ink droplet is not propelled from one or more nozzle
but the Nozzle Test is successful, you may need to prime the print head (for
monochrome print head only).
- The electrical continuity of the nozzle activation circuitry (Nozzles test).
If the test finds that the electrical signal is not being provided by the nozzles,
turn to the section entitled "Troubleshooting Guide".
- The list of programmable parameters, with a graphical representation of
where the selectors are located.
- The table of the selected character generator.
- The fonts available for both portrait or landscape printing.
To run a print test:
•
Make sure there is paper in the input tray.
•
Power off the printer, then power it back on again while pressing the
Install
Cartridge
button.
The printer will load a sheet of paper from the input tray and begin to print the
first page of the print test. This page is shown on the facing page.
To interrupt the print test, press the
On-Line
button. This button will need to
be pressed again to resume printing.
To exit the print test mode before it actually finishes, simply power off the
printer.
When the four pages of the print test are all printed, the test ends automatically
and the printer switches ON LINE.
