Resetting your printer using PostScript Þles

Macintosh users

Note Do not use the Restart Printer command in the LaserWriter UtilityÕs Utilities menu. Follow this procedure to reset the printer using the LaserWriter Utility to download the Reset Printer utility Þle.

1.Select the printer in the Chooser.

2.Locate the LaserWriter Utility on the Macintosh version of the printerÕs network utilities diskettes.

3.Double-click on the LaserWriter Utility icon.

4.Choose Download PostScript File from the Utilities menu.

5.Select the Reset Printer Þle in the list; then click Open.

6.At the prompt

Save PostScript output as:

you are prompted to name the log Þle that the LaserWriter Utility creates for PostScript errors. Use either the default name given in the edit box or type in a new name. Click Save to send the Þle to the printer.

Note The process of resetting the printer takes a few minutes to complete. You will receive a message on your screen indicating that the connection has been interrupted during the reset. The connection is re-established after the reset, so you can ignore this message; click the Continue button.

7.If the printer reports no PostScript errors, the LaserWriter Utility displays a dialog box. Click OK in the box to continue.
