How to Print a Self Test Report on a Printer

Plug the printer into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the printer is turned to ��On.��
Select several sheets of clean, white printer paper. Tap the paper stack on a hard, flat surface to align the edges. Check the paper for rips, curls, wrinkles or bent edges. Remove and discard any unsatisfactory pages. Insert the stack of paper into the input tray, short edge forward. Slide the stack forward until it stops. Do not force the stack beyond its initial stopping point.
Locate the control panel on the front of the printer. Press the Setup Button located on the bottom center of the control panel, beneath the LED readout. Press 2 to select ��Print Reports,�� then press 6 to select ��Self-Test Report�� on the number keypad on the control panel located to the left of the Setup Button.
Examine the resulting self-test page that prints. There should be lines extending all the way across the page in black, yellow, cyan and magenta. A missing black line indicates a problem with the black or photo cartridge. Faded, streaked or missing lines in the other colors indicates a problem with the color ink cartridge.
