Does the BJC-70 have one? It's a pretty old printer.
Self Test
There are several printer self-tests all accessed the same way.
* Make sure the sheet feeder contains a stack of paper, and the
* printer is turned on.
* Press and hold the MENU button until the second beep.
* The Word "FONT" disappears from the display and the number starts
* blinking.
* Press the CARTRIDGE button until the number you require appears -
* see list below for what each number does.
o 2. All modes pattern -
this shows all the characters in various pitches and heights.
o 3. Ripple pattern -
this prints a staggered list of all the characters.
o 4. Nozzle pattern -
this prints a series of horizontal lines to
make sure the nozzle is functioning correctly.
o 6. Test Pattern - this prints a Canon BJ-30 Description.
o 7. Font Pattern -
this prints all characters in the available
print styles and pitches in each control mode.
* Press MENU to start the test.
I edited to avoid line-wrap,
but there was no 5 in the original.
