To maintain optimum image quality, the image quality must be controlled once a month. To control the image quality, follow these steps:

• On your desktop, double-click Image. The CS 8100 Technician Tools window is displayed.
• In the left pane, double-click Image Quality Tool. The Image Quality Control window is displayed.

In the Image Quality Control window, to perform the test, you can either:
