Can anyone please supply the key press sequence to do a print (self) test on one of these printers? As is always the way the owners have lost their user manual.

I wish I could remember, John (but I can't). I assume you've carried out the usual procedure (that is, holding down buttons on a trial and error basis). Anyway, your friends at MIUS are bound to know! Why not give (one of) them a ring?

Dear john
I have not used UP21, but might it help as we have used 895, PRINT & COPY button same time when pressing power on button. Hold it & there is a sound. Then we can print the test page..
Best of luck.. Sorry for incomplete info..

Hi John

Press Main Menu
Printer Setup menu
Color Balance menu
TEST PRINT: PRESS[EXEC]

I can email you the Operation Manual if you would Like.

Thank you all very much for your help and suggestions.

The above from StaggS works only if you have an image saved in the printer memory already.

I was looking for a way of self testing the printer on the bench without any other equipment connected. I got the info I needed from Alan at AGX holdings, Sony repair agents at...

As you need to access the service mode to do this I will post this info in the appropriate place.

Cheers - John

Dear John
Thanks for sharing this info. But when i tried to access that new SERVICE INFO section. ACCESS DENIED option coming.
Why i cant access that forum or posting, is it restricted.
What i have to do to see it. Hope some one answers.

I think you have to PM Huw to give you access Laiq.

To Produce test print on Sony UP-21MD Colour Printer

Thanks for posting that John.

Hi Huw, I was hoping to access the above link to produce a self test print without image (as the printer is in the workshop and the stack in use in theatres!) but it delivers an access denied message,is it now a dead link?

Should be ok now.
