F45 — Verifying print
quality
Perform the following procedure to verify the print quality is satisfactory:
1. Enter function code F45 (Print Test) and press Enter.
2. Press 2 (Test Pattern). The transport starts automatically.
3. Feed a blank sheet of paper; a test pattern will be printed.
4. Evaluate the appearance of the test pattern. A complete test
pattern should look similar to the following illustration:
• If the pattern is complete, begin work.
• If the pattern is not legible:
◊ Check to see that the print cartridges are inserted properly.
See the section entitled, “Installing a new print cartridge” for
more information.
◊ Perform function code F48 (Purge function) to help unclog
the print head jet openings.
◊ Repeat the print test.
5. Press 1 and verify your current mode image looks acceptable.
NOTES:
• If you select a blank print template or the No Print Template
option (depending on the specific mode you are printing in), then
the selection of 1, Current Mode Image, may print nothing.
• Print Test Pattern always prints with 100% contrast.
• The Mode Image prints with the specified contrast setting (F39).
