The Image Diagnostics Print consists of patterns designed to highlight print quality problems. It helps
the user to check whether there is a print quality issue. If there is an issue, it helps understand the cause and provides information to resolve it.
note:Before using the Image Diagnostics Print, ensure that the appropriate print quality settings are being used.
To print the Image Diagnostics Print:
-
Ensure that at least A3 size paper (29.7 × 42 cm = 11.7 × 16.5 inches) has been loaded into the printer. Use the same paper type that was being used when the issue was detected.
-
Ensure that the front panel has the same print quality settings that were being used when the issue was detected. In the Image Diagnostics Print, the only difference between 'Drawings/text' and 'Images' is that the latter uses more ink in part 2, so that the colors appear darker.Printing the Image Diagnostics Print will take about two minutes if 'Images' is chosen. Choosing 'Drawings/text' might sometimes takes less time (depending on the paper type).
