Diagnostic Tests
With the exception of testing the interface between the printer and the host
computer (and the associated data cable), you do not need to send data from
the host computer to the printer to test printer operation. You can use the
printer built-in diagnostic tests to check many of the functions of your printer,
including print quality and overall operation.
