Status Monitor
If you are printing with Windows 95 or a Macintosh, you can
use the Status Monitor to check the printer’s current status. For
more details, see page 3-20 (Windows) or page 4-29
(Macintosh).
Printing a self test
Performing a self test on the printer can help you determine
whether the problem comes from the printer or the computer.
To perform a self test, follow these steps:
Note:
❑
Make sure that paper is loaded in the sheet feeder before starting
the self test.
❑ Make sure the paper-release lever is set to the single sheet position.
❑ Use paper at least 210 mm (8.27 inches) wide; for example A4
size paper loaded short edge first. Otherwise, the print head will
spray ink directly onto the platen, which could mar future
printouts.
1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. While holding down the Load/Eject button, press the
2
Operate button to turn on the printer.
The self test begins by printing on the first and last lines of
the first sheet of paper to measure the page length. Then
the printer prints character samples on the next sheet of
paper.
