Self test page
The Self Test Page (Figure 5-2) printout provides both a means of testing the printer and a
way of displaying the printer's configuration. The Self Test Page Printout does not run a
diagnostic Self Test (unlike previous printers) but it still tests the functionality of the printer by
being able to format data and place it accurately on the page.
To print a Self Test Page, press the Go key when the printer is in a ready state.
Some graphic images are available to make the page more visually pleasing. The
configuration is printed next. This configuration is the PJL configuration that PCL will use.
This includes such items as PaperSize, Orientation and Copies, etc.

If there are any downloaded “permanent” fonts (not “temporary” fonts), other pages are
printed out showing these fonts. Each font will provide a sample of the font, the font ID, the
typeface, the style, the stroke weight, the size (not applicable if the font is a scalable), and
whether it is Fixed pitch or Proportional spacing.
