      *Extremely Shiney or Glossy media.
      * Recycledpaper that has not be spec `edfor LaserJetpn"nters.

Toner Cartridge Life

coverage (toner usage) imd print pages (mechanical wear). Toner coverage per page is
approximately 570, for more detail please refm to the HP LaserJet Refwence Guide (Green

                      The LaserJet Confidence Test Tool

Whatis JetTest
      JetTest is a confidence test tool tie CE can use to quickly detetie    communications
betweenthe PC andtheLaserJet. It also teststhe fimctionalityofthethe LaserJet. ~stest comes
on a bootable floppy disk and is very easy to use.

Whv Use JetTest
    *It negates the customers application/sof~are         as it is a bootable disk.
      * It checks communications between PC andthe LaserJet or L2000. [1]
      *It checks tie functionality of the LaserJet (i.e. Duplex, I/P source selection, etc)
      *It quickly helps CE determine           if fault reported is a LaserJetproblem.
      *It reduces" Over-Delivery"            of HP support services.
      *It will help to reduce the NFT rate of Formatter           PCA'S.
      *JetTestwill                                           (Virusprotection)
                          not run if disk is NOT Write Protected.
     * Has CRC checking when disk is booting. (Virusprotection)
     * It is very easy to use.
Note         [1] It ve.y important to ensure a high qualiy I/F cable are used and thq are
                   is
                correctly wired Use HP cable lfpossible.

Matarethe Standard Tests
    * RippleTest (Portrait& Landscape)
      * GraphicsTest
      * Dotioads          a Soft-Font
      * DuplexTesting
      *1/ P Bin Source Selection
      * PCL/PostScript         Switching
      *PostScript     Graphics t=t
      * Serial/ Parallel protocols         (use high quality HP I/F cables impossible)

Please note fiturevertions ofJetZ'estwill contain many more tests, but tie aboveti       always be
tie "corestandard" testa.

Which Printers can this Version ofJetTest to run on?
    * LJI / ID (Note only ripple test has be tested)
      * LJII / IID / III / IIID
      * LJIIP / 111P
