Running a Self Test

You can run a printer self test to determine whether the
problem lies with the printer itself or some other source.
If the test results are satisfactory, the problem lies in
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the test pages don't print correctly, you may have a
problem with your printer. See the suggestions in this
chapter for possible solutions.
Follow these steps to test the printer:
1. Load several sheets of paper in the built-in sheet feeder,
making sure the right edge guide is positioned correctly for
your paper's width and the paper release lever is in the
single sheet position. See page 3-6 for instructions.
