Testing Your Print Server

Once you have set all of the necessary parameters, and have finished connecting your printer(s) to the print server, you should test each of the printer ports using the Print Test function.

For each port you wish to test,

1.Select the print server in the EtherP Admin main window’s server name display (or extended server display).

2.Choose Print Test. in the Tools menu. EtherP Admin will prompt you for which port you wish to test.

3.Choose a port and click OK. The print server should print out a “HyperNet Fastprint print server Test Page.”

4.Repeat this procedure for each printer port with an attached printer.

NOTE: The Print Test function may not work with PostScript printers that do not accept plain text files.
