Test Menu items can be selected only from the printers control panel. You
cannot change or override them from your software application. See
Testing Your Printer in Chapter 5 for detailed information about running
printer tests and interpreting their results. Additional information about
test printouts appears in Chapter 6, PostScript Printing.
Item Explanation
SELF TEST When SELF TEST is displayed, and you press [Enter], the printer
runs a self test during which it displays the message 05 SELF
TEST and all control panel lights are lit. During the printing portion
of the self test, the message 06 PRINTING TEST is displayed. (See
‘‘Understanding the Self Test Printout,’’ in Chapter 5.)
CONT SELF TEST

[Shift] + [Continue]. Then the 04 portion of the display blinks and
several more pages print until the buffer clears. Press [On Line]
when pages stop printing.

available in your printer (both internal and accessory) for PCL print
