      Enter service, go to sp2-109-003, select pattern 23. # to set
      Then in sp 2-109-005. Specifies the colour for the test pattern. 1: All colours, 2: Magenta, 3: Yellow, 4: Cyan
      For black and white you can just select 1.
      Next touch copy screen at the top. select A4 and either full colour for one of the colours you selected or black and white with the "all colours" selected in sp. and press green to start a print.

            Also, to test a full color sheet through optics you can turn on single/2 color mode using System SP5-618=0 (default 1). This will add extra buttons to the touchscreen to allow single color and 2 color conversion output in copy mode. Another good tool is the test page outputted from Printer SP1103-2, this gives you solid bars in both main scan and subscan direction along with the gamma density blocks for each color. Great for checking for uneven density, developer blockages (void line) for a particular color and a quick visual of the registration for each color in reference to black.

              I agree with the above.......

                As another idea, you can also set sp5816 to 1, then the display will give you "single colour" modes. The above will give more details but if you want a quick check from a test copy this can help.

                      I think if you are troubleshooting PCU, just use the single color on the LCD and sky shot it. Isn't it faster than going into those test pattern SP modes.

                        It may be faster but you are using a lot of heavy solids, detrimental to the system and a waste.

                          Set SP 5618 to on to give you single colour options

                            Skyshot is a good way to kill the fuser. Better you take the test-pattern #19 (checker-flag)

                              FYI, I used the sky shots method for over 5 years and the fusing units are still running at 400k without a replacement yet. However, I don't disagree on toner saving in this type of economy.
