If the operating environment or the print related settings have been changed, or a new program has been registered, it is recommended that you print a list of the machine settings and check it. All of the printable characters and the font types can be printed and confirmed.
Multiple Lists
You can print the configuration page and error log.
Configuration Page
You can print the machine's current configuration values.
Error Log
You can print error logs listing all errors that occurred during printing. The most recent 50 errors are stored in the error log. If a new error is added when there are 50 errors already stored, the oldest error is deleted. However, if the oldest error belongs to one of the following types of print jobs, it is not deleted. Instead, it will be stored separately in error logs for each job type, up to a maximum of 30 for each log. You can check any of these print jobs for error log information.

PCL Configuration / Font Page
You can print the current configuration and installed PCL font list.
PS Configuration / Font Page
You can print the current configuration and installed PostScript font list.
This menu can be selected only when an optional PostScript 3 unit is installed.
PDF Configuration / Font Page
You can print the current configuration and installed PDF font list.
This menu appears only when an optional PostScript 3 unit is installed.
Hex Dump
You can print in the Hex Dump mode. To check how a printing failure occurs, print hexadecimal data sent from the machine.
Color Pattern
You can print a test pattern that comprises four CMYK colors. Use the test pattern to determine which of the four colors is causing the problem at the output.
If a paper tray contains plain paper or recycled paper that is A4 (or 81/2 × 11), the tray is selected automatically. If none of the paper trays contain plain paper or recycled paper that is A4 (or 81/2 × 11), the paper is fed from the priority tray. Part of the list may not be printed if the paper size in the priority tray is smaller than A4 (or 81/2 × 11). The printout may have a large empty border space around the list if the paper size in the priority tray is bigger than A4 (or 81/2 × 11).
