The print tests are used to check the print quality and operation of your
printer. The procedure to run these tests is shown on page 6–7. The self-tests
include the following:
• Printer Demonstration — Demonstrates some of the functions and
features available on the printer.
• Print Error Log — Prints a log of errors that have occurred in the printer.
• Ripple Print — A “sliding” alphanumeric pattern used to identify
missing or malformed characters, improper vertical alignment, or vertical
compression.
• All E’s — A pattern of all uppercase E’s that identifies missing
characters, misplaced dots, smeared characters, improper phasing
problems, or light/dark character variations.
• All H’s — A pattern of all uppercase H’s used to detect missing
characters, misplaced dots, smeared characters, or improper phasing.
• All E’s + FF — A pattern of all E’s repeated for ten lines and followed by a
form feed to the next page top-of-form, used to identify paper motion or
feeding problems, such as paper path obstruction or improper forms.
• Underlines — An underline pattern useful for identifying hammer bank
misalignment.
