NOTE:
Unless otherwise indicated, you should not use
costly roll paper to print test patterns. Use standard
cut-sheet sizes, 11 × 17 inch or larger. For
adjustments that require a high degree of precision
(Bi-D and head angle adjustments), be sure to use
coated ink jet paper.
All explanations in Self-Diagnostic mode refer to the
printheads in the following way:
Head B = K/C/M side (left side facing the printer)
Head C = Lc/Lm/Y side (right side facing the printer)
