Checking the Printer
You can use the control panel to print test pages, check toner levels, and get
a count of total pages printed. You access these features through a series of
SelecType menus. For more information about the SelecType menus, see
page 3-4.
Printing Test Pages
Two types of test pages are available, the Status Sheet and the Color Test
Page. Both of these pages allow you to test the printer without sending a
print job (and without connecting the printer to the RIP). The Status Sheet
shows the current default settings and hardware configuration of the printer.
The Color Test Page gives you a sample color printout. You can also print
font samples for various emulations (see page 3-12 for information about the
font samples).
