Self test page
The Self Test Page (Figure 5-2) printout provides both a means of testing the printer
and a way of displaying the printer's configuration. The Self Test Page Printout does
not run a diagnostic Self Test (unlike previous printers) but it still tests the functionality
of the printer by being able to format data and place it accurately on the page.
Some graphic images are available to make the page more visually pleasing. The
configuration is printed next. This configuration is the PJL configuration that PCL will
use. This includes such items as PaperSize, Orientation and Copies, etc.

If there are any downloaded "permanent" fonts (not "temporary" fonts), other pages
are printed out showing these fonts. Each font will provide a sample of the font, the
font ID, the typeface, the style, the stroke weight, the size (not applicable if the font is a
scalable), and whether it is Fixed pitch or Proportional spacing.
If the memory is too low, a reduced Self Test Page is printed which contains only the
printer configurations and a message “Reduced Self Test Printed - Memory Too Low.”
In a low-memory condition the font printout attempts to print all downloaded
