Testing the Printer

The laser printer has three built-in print tests: the self test, font print

test, and status print test. These tests let you check the operation of

your printer and obtain information on printer status.

It is recommended that you run the self test before you begin using

your printer to make sure the printer is operating correctly. This test

is also useful for checking the print density setting on your printer.

The other two tests, the font print test and status print test, can be

run any time you need information on fonts or printer status.

Before running any of these tests, make sure you have removed all

protective materials from the printer and that you have installed all

components as described in Chapter 1.

Note: You

do not need to connect the printer to your computer

before running these tests. (Connecting your printer to your

computer is described later in this chapter.)

Before performing these tests, it is necessary to turn on the power

and load paper as described below.

Turning on the power

1. Make sure the printer is plugged in.

2. Turn on the power by pressing the side of the power switch

marked with the vertical bar.
