Black print-quality troubleshooting page

1. Grids
The grids are in inches and millimeters. They are labeled with letters and numbers so that defects can be described by position and by distance between repeats.

2. Color plane registration (CPR) bars
After printing, the box with no extra color in each area on each page shows how far off the CPR of that color is. Each page has two process direction areas and three scan direction areas that are labeled x and y and 1–11. The page should be fed by the long edge. Each square from the center equals 42 microns.

3. Color ramp patche
Used to detect offset for the OPC or developer in the image drum or offset in the fuser.
