This video explains how to print a self-test page for your printer.
A self-test page provides useful information about your printer, model number, serial number
and the status of the cartridges in your printer. First, load paper into the input tray.
On the printer control panel, press the Setup button.
Scroll to Print Report and then press the OK button.
Then scroll to Self-Test report and press the OK button.
The self-test page prints. Now, let's talk about what the self-test page
can tell us about your printer. The most obvious thing is that if the self-test
page prints out, you know the printer itself is working correctly.
So if you run into problems printing from your computer, it is probably caused by your connection,
your operating system, or the software you're printing from.
However, if you see smearing, the wrong color, or some other error, the documents you print
will likely have the same problem. The self-test page can also give you valuable
information on print quality, your printer name and even your printer serial number.
