DEVICE TESTS
Quick Disk Test
This test performs a non-destructive read/write on one block per track on the disk. The test reads one block on
each track, saves the data, and proceeds to write and read four test patterns to the bytes in the block. If the
block is good, the saved data is written back to the disk.
1. From the Diagnostics menu, navigate to:
DEVICE TESTS > Quick Disk Test
• The power indicator blinks while the test is in progress.
• Quick Disk Test/Test Passed appears if the test passes.
• Quick Disk Test/Test Failed appears if the test fails.
2. Press Stop (X) to return to the Device Tests menu.
CAUTION
These sensors are near high voltage terminals to the print cartridge. Use a nonconducting
item to toggle these switches and not your hand.
