2. Performing a Printing Test

Before you carry out actual printing, perform a printing test to ensure no dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs.
IMPORTANT

Put on protective eyewear when performing a printing test.

Procedure
  1. Press the [TEST] button.
    Test printing is started.
    MEMO

    Press the [TEST] button to immediately start test printing.

    Be sure to install paper for the printing test and move the flat table to a suitable position before pressing the [TEST] button.

    When the printing test is finished, the display screen returns to the original display.

  2. Press [FRONT] and move the flat table forward to a position where the printing test results can be checked.
    MEMO

    The flat table will continue moving if you press and hold the [FRONT] button for three seconds or longer and then release it. To stop the movement, press [FRONT] 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.
