TP 1 Initial Test Print Pages
These A4 (8.5 x 11) pages are a set of diagnostic test prints used to initially diagnose image
quality issues in IQ 1. TP 1 prints the five test pages shown in Figure 1.
Initial test print pages are printed from dC612.
NOTE: All test prints should be printed on A4 or 8.5 x 11 inch plain paper and long edge feed.
Use the best quality media available. Do not use hole punched paper. Failure to do this will
result in an error message being printed instead of the test page.
NOTE: Always load A4 or 8.5 x 11 inch media as appropriate to your market region in Tray 4
before printing internal test prints.
NOTE: When the paper selected for the test print pages is correct, the test pages will be
printed with annotations on the bottom edge confirming the test print name, the LEF status and
that double chevrons will be printed if the paper used is A4. The chevrons indicate the stitch
position between print heads.
