Testing the Printer
You can run a printer self test to determine whether the
problem lies with the printer itself or some other source.
❏ If the test results are satisfactory, the problem lies in your
computer or its printer port, software settings, or the
interface cable.
❏ If the test pages don’t print correctly, you may have a
problem with your printer.
Follow these steps to test the printer:
1. Load several sheets of paper in the paper tray.
2. Turn off the printer.
Caution:
Use paper that’s at least 8.3 inches (210 mm) wide.
Otherwise the print head will spray ink directly onto
the platen.
3. Hold down the LF/FF button and press the POperate
button to turn on the printer. Then release both buttons.
This prints the test pages at 360 dpi. (If the test pages don’t
print, turn off the printer. Repeat the button sequence, but
hold down both buttons for several seconds before releasing
them.)
The first page prints on the first and last lines to measure
the page length. The next page contains a nozzle check
pattern and multicolored character samples.
To print test pages at 180 dpi, hold down the
Load/Eject
button while turning on the printer instead of
LF/FF. The
180-dpi self test prints in black.
Caution:
Never turn off the printer while it is printing. To end
the test, always press the Pause button, eject any
loaded paper, then turn off the printer.
4. After the second page prints, press the Pause button to stop
printing.
5. If the printer loaded any additional paper, press
Load/Eject
to eject it. Then turn off the printer to end the test.
Default Control Panel Settings
You can change the following “default” settings from the
printer’s control panel:
Changing control panel settings
Note:
The printer’s control panel buttons perform different functions while
the printer is in default-setting mode. Be sure to carefully follow the
instructions your printer prints and don’t try to perform standard
control panel functions until you’ve exited default-setting mode.
Follow these steps to change the settings listed above:
1. Load four or more sheets of paper, at least 8.3 inches
(210 mm) wide, into the paper tray, making sure the edge
guides are positioned correctly and the paper-release lever is
set to the singular sheet position.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. While holding down the
Media Type button, turn on the
printer to enter default-setting mode. Hold down both
buttons for three seconds, then release them.
The printer loads a sheet of paper and prints an instruction
sheet telling you how to select a language (the default
setting is English).
