Does anyone recall the button sequence to push to print hte "banding" test page??? I used to have it written down but appear to have lost the page. This is a test to look for dead elements in the print head which when printing black results in a white stripe through the black box.
Turn the printer off. Load a sheet of white laser paper. Press and hold the "Power" & "Ready/FF" buttons at the same time. Release the "Power" button, and keep pressing the Ready/FF" button. Right after you release the "Power" button, count 4 seconds, and release the Ready/FF" button. Immediately, press and release the "Ready/FF" button one last time. The printer should start printing a series of letters, numbers, horizontal lines and a black solid bar at the bottom of the sheet. Once this test page is completed, turn the printer off to stop the test.

Hi Pritesh81, I saw your recent post regarding a Dell XPS 710. Can you help me diagnose mine? It won't boot, I see the solid amber LED when plugged in but when I press the start button the power cuts after 1/4 second. I cannot locate the 4 LED indicators you mention within or outside the case.
