How do I respond to the Image Diagnostics Print?

The Image Diagnostics Print is in three numbered parts.
1.

Part 1 tests printhead alignment. See “How do I interpret Image Diagnostics part

2.

Part 2 tests printhead performance and the paper advance mechanism. See
“How do I interpret Image Diagnostics part 2?” on page 178.
