Getting to know your printer

Adjusting printer settings

You can use the

Tools

button on the printer’s front panel to print a test page or

adjust the printer’s settings.

Note:

An asterisk (*) on the LCD indicates the current setting.

Printing a test page

You can print a test page to check your print cartridges and make sure the paper is

loaded correctly.
To print a test page:
1. Make sure plain paper is loaded in the paper tray. If you need more

information, see “Loading paper” on page 11.

2. On the printer front panel, press

Tools

until the LCD

asks if you want to print a test page, then press

OK/Yes

.

The printer begins printing a test page.

Page size

By default, the printer automatically detects paper type and size by scanning the paper

in the paper tray. You can also choose to override the automatic detection by manually

setting paper type and size.
Depending on where you live, you may need to set the printer to use a particular small

or large paper size. If you live in Japan, you need to set the default small paper size to

either Hagaki or 4 x 6 inches. If you live in any other Asian or Pacific country, you need

to set the default large paper size to either A4 or 8½ x 11 inches.
