Testing the Printer
You can run a self test to determine whether the problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in your
software settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
If the self test does not print correctly, you have a problem
with your printer.
Follow these steps to run the test:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
3. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer.
Caution:
Load paper that's at least 8.27 inches (210 mm) wide. This
prevents ink from spraying inside the printer and smudging your
printouts.
