A ring \(R\) is called left FPF if each finitely generated faithful left \(R\)-module generates the category of all left \(R\)-modules. In an earlier paper [Can. Math. Bull. 37, No. 2, 287-288 (1994; Zbl 0816.16004)], the author proved that a semiperfect left FPF ring is left self-injective if and only if its left singular ideal \(Z(_RR)\) coincides with its Jacobson radical \(J\). Generalizing this, \textit{S. S. Page} [Commun. Algebra 23, No. 6, 2125-2134 (1995; Zbl 0832.16018)]\ then proved that if \(R\) is a left FPF left epi-semiperfect ring with \(Z(_RR)=J\) then \(Re\) is injective for each primitive idempotent \(e\) of \(R\); in particular, \(R\) is left self-injective provided there are only finitely many components of \(R/J\). Here Page defined the ring \(R\) to be left epi-semiperfect if (i) \(R/J\) is regular with essential left socle, (ii) for every \(r\in R\) there exists an idempotent \(e\) such that \(re\neq 0\) and \(e+J\) is in the socle of \(R/J\), (iii) any set of orthogonal idempotents in \(R\) lifts modulo \(J\), and (iv) \(J^n/J^{n+1}\) is a nonsingular left \(R/J\)-module for each \(n\). In the paper under review, the author shows, using Morita invariant properties of \(Z(_RR)\) vis-à-vis \(J\), that if \(R\) is left FPF left epi-semiperfect and \(Z(_RR)=J\) or \(J\) is nil then \(R\) is left self-injective (so removing the finiteness assumption on the components of \(R/J\)).
