Self-test Page for HP LaserJet 5L

Figure 3-2

Self-test Page for HP LaserJet 6L

The self-test page lists the current printer configuration. (If any fonts have been downloaded to the printer a second page will print.)

To print a self-test page:

1 Make sure the Ready (bottom) Light is on, and all other lights are off. Wake up the printer if necessary by pressing the Front Panel Button.

2 Briefly press and release the Front Panel Button. The Data (middle) Light comes on, the Ready (bottom) Light blinks. Wait for a self-test page to print.

Continuous Self Test

A continuous self test can be useful for troubleshooting paper path and other problems. To print a continuous self test:

1 Disconnect the printer from the power source.

2 Press and hold down the Front Panel Button while connecting power.

3 Continue holding the button for about five seconds.

All lights will illuminate at once, then each will light in sequence.

4 Release the button. The printer conducts its internal diagnostics routine, then prints the self-test page continuously until stopped.

5 To stop the continuous self test (and reset the printer), press and hold the Front Panel Button for a few seconds until all lights begin lighting in sequence once again.

Note The self test does not print at the printer's rated speed of four pages per minute

(HP LaserJet 5L) or six pages per minute (HP LaserJet 6L). The engine test prints at the printer's rated speed.

Printing an Engine Test

Note

Figure 3-3

The engine test print can be used to verify that the print engine is functioning correctly. The Formatter PCA is completely bypassed during an engine test. Consequently, this test is useful for isolating engine printer problems. The engine test prints a full page of vertical lines down the entire printable area. This page is useful for checking and adjusting registration.

Perform the engine test with the printer covers in place, as shown in Figure 3-6. Refer to "Engine Test" in Chapter 7 for the engine test procedure.

Resetting the Printer

Resetting the printer accomplishes the following:

• Clears all data from the printer's memory (including unprinted data, downloaded fonts, and macros).

• Stops any printing that is taking place and ejects the page.

• Removes some error conditions.

• Resets the printer to its factory default settings.

To Reset the Printer

Press and hold the Front Panel Button until the three control panel lights blink quickly in succession (about 5 seconds), then let go of the button. After resetting, the Ready (bottom) Light will remain lit if there are no printer errors. (Make sure there is paper in the printer or the error light will remain on.)
