NOTE: The Service Tests work in a special mode that does not require full initialization of the
printer. Therefore it is important that, once you have finished with the Service Tests, you must
power off the printer and power on again before trying to print.
In some cases a quick press of a button may not be recognized by the printer. When pressing a
button, be sure to press it deliberately and all the way to the bottom of its travel.
If the printer hangs up during a test, switch the printer off and restart from step 1.
