Print Tests
The purpose of the diagnostic Print Tests is to verify that the printer
can print on media from each of the installed input options. Each of
the installed options is listed in the following order in the menu:
For each input source selected, the following choices are available:
Single (prints the Print Test Page once).
Continuous (continue printing the Print Test Page until Return or
Stop is pressed).
• Tray 1 = Single, Tray 1 = Continuous
• Tray 2 = Single, Tray 2 = Continuous (if installed)
• Tray 3 = Single, Tray 3 = Continuous (if installed)
• MP Feeder = Single, MP Feeder = Continuous
The contents of the Print Test Page vary depending on the media
installed in the selected input source. If a source is selected that
contains Paper, Legal, Letter and so on, a page similar to the Quick
Test Page is printed. However, the page does not contain the print
registration diamonds. If an input source is selected which contains
envelopes, an Envelope Print Test pattern is printed. This pattern
contains text only, consisting of continuous prints of each character
in the selected symbol set.
If continuous is selected, all sources printing with paper sizes print
the same page continuously until the test is stopped. If continuous is
selected for a source containing envelopes, the envelope print test
pattern prints on the first envelope and subsequent envelopes are
blank.
Note: The Print Test Page may be printed on any paper or envelope
size, however more than one sheet of some media sizes may be
required. The Print Test Page is always simplexed, regardless of
duplex settings or the presence of the duplex unit.
