How to use it

Download before filling. Use a PDF reader with form support, save a new copy and reopen it to confirm your answers were kept.

01

Describe the setup

Record the exact model, connection and symptom without including account credentials or confidential document content.

02

Change one thing at a time

Use a small, non-confidential test and record the before/after result. Stop before removing a managed setup or making a change you cannot restore.

03

Measure only where it matters

Use the labelled physical-size page at Actual size or 100%. Verify it with a ruler on paper; an on-screen view is not a measurement.

04

Hand over useful evidence

Complete the support summary and keep the resolved settings with the record for a future comparison.

Common questions

Does the PDF diagnose my device?

No. It organizes your observations and test results. It does not connect to a printer, scan a network or change settings.

Can I fill it in a browser?

Some browser viewers support basic PDF fields, but save behavior varies. Download it, use a compatible PDF reader and reopen the saved copy to verify your answers.

Is the measurement page a calibration certificate?

No. It is a physical test aid. Printer margins, paper, application settings and scaling can affect output. Measure the actual print before relying on it.
