    Pressing the [TEST] button immediately starts the printing test.

    Be sure to load the paper for the printing test and move the flat table to the proper location, then press the [TEST] button.

  2. Press the [FRONT] button to move the flat table toward you to a location where the printing test results can be checked.
    MEMO

    Pressing and holding the [FRONT] button for 3 or more seconds will cause the flat table to continue moving even if the button is released. To stop movement, press the [FRONT] button again or press the [BACK] button.

  3. Check whether there is dot drop-out or dot displacement in the test pattern.

    Missing blocks indicate dot drop-out. Collapsed or inclined blocks indicate dot displacement. If dot drop-out or dot displacement is still present, perform normal cleaning.
