    Colour test pages

    Hey Guys

    Does anyone know how to produce test pages for each colour C,M,Y,K for the Kyocera copiers? Is it there a maintenance mode for this?

    Use U089. Do the colour belt for CMYK test or the sample set for several pages. Needs A3 paper in a tray or on MP tray

        U89 then select test print type and then select "System Menu" and this brings you to copy screen where you can choose which paper size you can do the tests on.

          I was never very fond of 30% fill originals as test images. They hide a lot of flaws.

          Take a look at these. You use ISO paper sizes in Australia? I prefer 11% fill images when you really want to catch any flaws (not hide them).

          (I'm have trouble dragging/dropping on the phone. I'll attach test patterns later. =^..^=

          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

              What other ISO sizes are common where you're at? I can edit that doc to any standard size, ANSI, ISO, or Architectural, in just a few minutes. Since I'm getting more exposure to wide format lately, Arch D, E1, and E have become particularly useful. =^..^=

                Yeah, I agree. The built in samples can miss issues that only occur at higher densities. I have a couple I use that will show up things like a faulty dev spacer etc.

                  That's exactly right. The on-board sample set completely hides that issue. You need 70% fill or more to see the developer spacer issue. =^..^=

                    I'm in Europe, so it's ISO-A with A5, A4, and A3 being used most of the time. These 2 are just about perfect.

                      Then three more to add to your USB stick: ISO A5 Color, ISO A3+ Color (aka Super A3), and ISO A3+ B&W:
