Print Test Page

The test page is a helpful tool that can be used to verify the connection between the printer server and the printer. The test page contains the following data:

Printer sServer nName

MAC Address

DDefault remote pPrinter nName

Node Nname

Hardware & fFirmware revisions

NOS iInformation

SSoftware revision

Network pProtocols

To print the test page, perform the following steps:

1)Verify the Emulex printer server has power.

2)Verify printer has power and is On-Line.

3)Disconnect power to the printer server.

4)Disconnect LAN cable.

5)Reconnect power to printer server.

6)The printout will occur within 90 seconds.

If no printout occurs, verify all connections and make sure printer shows power ON, Ready and On-Line.

NOTE: If the printer is PCL or text only, the test printout may contain PostScript commands.

Print Configuration Parameters

To obtain a printout of configuration parameters, enter this command:

>Server>> show server config port port_number [ps]

port_number Enter the printer server port number.

ps

Puts the output in PostScript format.
