Running a Printer Check
You can run a printer check to determine whether the problem
comes from the printer itself or some other source.
◗ If the results are satisfactory, the problem lies in software
settings, the interface cable, or your computer.
◗ If the printer check does not print correctly, there is a
problem with your printer. See the suggestions in this
chapter for possible solutions.
Follow these steps to check the printer:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Disconnect the interface cable from the printer.
