This video explains how to print a printer status report for your printer.
You can use this report to view the printer's current status information, cartridge status,
as well as additional product information. First, load paper into the input tray. Adjust
the guides so that they are snug against the paper.
To print a printer status report, go to the control panel home screen. Touch the right
arrow to view more options, touch Setup, then Tools, then Print Status Report. The printer
will then print the status report. Let's talk about what the status report
can tell us about your printer. The most obvious thing is that if the status
report prints out, the printer is working correctly.
So, if you are having a problem printing from your computer, it's probably caused by your
connection, operating system, or software that you're printing from. However, if you
see smearing, the wrong color ink, or other similar issues, the documents you print will
likely have the same problem. The self test page can also give you valuable
information on print quality, ink levels, serial number, connectivity settings, and
other useful information to help troubleshooting.
