Testing the Printer

You can run a printer operation check to determine whether
the problem comes from the printer itself or some other
source. If the test pattern page prints, the problem most likely
lies in your software or application settings, the interface
cable, or your computer. If the test pattern page does not print
correctly, you may have a problem with your printer.
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
4. Hold down the E load/eject button, then press and release
the Ppower button. Continue holding down the
E load/eject button until the Ppower light starts to flash,
then release it.
The printer prints its ROM version number, an ink counter
code, and a nozzle check pattern.
5. To end the check, turn off the printer. Then reconnect the
interface cable and turn on your printer and computer.
