Introduction: Topics in This Manual

1.4.9.About the Appendices

The Appendices include reference information which can be useful in several different contexts:

•“Customer Support” [page 227].

•“Technical Information” [page 229], including emission notices. This repeats and expands the information included on the product overview sheet.

•“Hardware Installation” [page 233]—this repeats the information included in the “Getting Started” brochure.

•“Information from LEDs and from the TEST Button” [page 234]. This repeats and greatly expands the information included in the “Getting Started” brochure and in the “Quick Guide” txt file.

•“US ASCII 7-bit Character Set: Decimal Values 32 - 126” [page 237]—these are the characters which are (almost) always sure to be printable; 33-122 are as good as 100% consistent in all kinds of code pages.

•“String Syntax” [page 239] for pre-processing, post- processing and string substitution.

•“Configuration Checklists” [page 241] for the whole configuration process and for the configuration of each single service or host-session.

•“Troubleshooting” [page 245] is a new appendix focussing on what to investigate if you can’t print a job and if you can’t ping the print server.
