Functional checks

Engine test

The engine test is used to verify that the print engine is functioning correctly. The formatter is
bypassed during an engine test, so the engine test is useful for isolating printer problems.
The engine test prints vertical lines down the entire printable area of a page and is also
useful for checking and adjusting registration.

Engine test button location

The engine test switch is accessible without removing the covers. It is located on the back of
the HP LaserJet 1100 Printer under the memory door.

Printing an engine test

To print an engine test, lift the memory door on the back of the printer and depress the
engine test switch (Figure 5-1). A single test page will print.
