self-test

Writing this object allows a device self test to be
started.  Reading this object provides an indication
what self-test is currently executing, if any.  Actual
self-test operation is device specific.  A self test may
not be allowed at any arbitrary time.  If the device
supports the requested self test, but can not start the
execution of the self test when requested, the device
will respond with <genErr>.  If
a non-destructive self test is being started, the device
will generate a response before the self test is
completed.
RECOMMENDATION:  If the device is ready (i.e. the NOT-
READY-PRINTER object does not contain any items, except
maybe being off-line) and is idle (i.e. the NOT-IDLE
object does not contain any items), this request should
always succeed.  This provides a mechanism for driver
writers to always determine if the action will succeed
or not.
Additional information:
The eNonDestructiveSelfTest performs limited
testing on the printer and its attached paper handling
devices. After the self-test is complete a
configuration page is printed. The recommended
way to cause a configuration page to be printed is to
use the PRINT-INTERNAL-PAGE object.  
          
Setting this object to eNonDestructiveSelfTest results in a status of <noError>
and a value of eNonDestructiveSelfTest being returned.
If the printer is not idle (whether printing an external job or printing
an internal page), this action will be delayed until the next job boundary.
          
See the PRINT-INTERNAL-PAGE object for more details.
