Printing a Status Check
The status check shows the current default settings, amount of ink
remaining in each cartridge, page count, and the status of various printer
parts. To display this information on the control panel instead of printing it
out, see 2-4.
Follow these steps to print the status check:
1. Load a sheet of paper in the printer, following the instructions on 1-13.
(You can print test pages on roll paper, but you will use
more paper.)
2. Press the
SelecType
button on the control panel. Press it repeatedly
until you see
TEST PRINT MENU
on the display.
3. Press the
Item
button until you see
STATUS CHECK=PRINT
on the
display.
4. Press the
Enter
button. The status check prints. The amount of ink left
or component life is indicated as follows:
E*****F
= full (or full life remaining
)
E ****F
= 3/4 full (or 3/4 life remaining)
E ***F
= 1/2 full (or 1/2 life remaining)
E**F
= 1/4 full (or 1/4 life remaining)
E*F
= nearly empty (or service life near end)
EF
= empty (or service life ended)
5. Press the
SelecType
button to exit the Test Print menu.

(You can print test pages on roll paper, but you will use
more paper.)
