Getting printer information

If you need to call the Customer Care Center, you should print a diagnostic
page and a configuration page to obtain printer information. Such information is
useful to our Customer Care Center in helping you troubleshoot printer
problems. You can also get printer information from the Toolbox by clicking

Printer Hardware

under the

Information

tab. Information on the printer,

battery, connectivity, and media types used is available.

Printing diagnostic and configuration pages

The diagnostic page contains detailed printer information, including firmware
version number, serial number, service ID, and print cartridge information.

The configuration page contains information such as default page settings,
printer media settings and Bluetooth connectivity status.

To print a diagnostic page:

Hold down the

P

OWER

BUTTON

and press the

R

ESUME

BUTTON

4 times.

To print a configuration page:

Hold down the

P

OWER

BUTTON

and press the

C

ANCEL

BUTTON

4 times.

Printing a demo page

To verify that your printer is working, print a demo page:

Hold down the

P

once.

However, if you want to verify that the printer is connected to the computer
correctly, or that the printer software is working correctly, you need to print a
test page from the General tab in the Printer Properties dialog box (Windows) or
the Inkjet Utility Panel (Macintosh).

If the test page does not print, see

Printer is not responding (nothing prints)

.
