The Printer Toolbox displays:
•The current state of communication between the driver and printer.
•Message text, if there are any messages.
•The current port mode, which can be USB, Shared Mode, or Directly Networked.
•The printer type.
•The driver and printer firmware version numbers.
Communication automatically resumes when you print a card, or when you open the Properties or Printing Preferences dialog box.
Buttons on the Printer Toolbox are not available (grayed) when a card is ready to print or is printing, when there is a message, or when the printer is powered off. Wait until printing is done before printing a sample card, running a cleaning card, or using advanced setup. Some buttons do not apply to this printer and are always gray.
See Info Central for information about using the Printer Toolbox.
