They are described in more detail in the Maintenance Manual.
Brief descriptions for the printer tests follow:
• Shift Recycle. A sliding alphanumeric pattern that identifies missing or
malformed characters, improper vertical alignment, or vertical
compression.
• All E’s. A pattern of all uppercase E’s that identifies missing characters,
misplaced dots, smeared characters, improper phasing problems, or light/
dark character variations.
• E’s plus TOF. A pattern of all E’s followed by a form feed to the next page
top-of-form, that identifies paper motion or feeding problems.
