Editing and Printing a Test Pattern
Once the test patterns have been generated, they are stored as messages—
one message for each message type available on the printer. Test pattern
messages are automatically allocated names beginning with ‘TEST’,
followed by the message type name, for example, TEST16 Flexible.
You can select, edit, and print a test pattern message using the same
method as a normal message.
When you select a test message for printing, at the SELECT MESSAGE
menu, type in T (first character of a test message) to quickly find the test
message you want.
