page de test à 5%

I think 'chart' is a bit of a misnomer here, and I certainly wouldn't consider this as any kind of 'mire' — the FR wording on my printer driver certainly says 'page de test'

The 5% of course just means that the text etc. covers 5% of the area of the page, thus giving you an idea of how much ink is being used.

Merci à tous !

agree Didier Martiny : Explication correcte, Tony. Je traduis généralement 'page test'. J'ai déjà trouvé 'charte test' chez un client.
