The Test Page confirms that the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) print engine is functional

Checking network connections
After the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) is connected to networked computers, printing
problems may arise if the network hardware or software is not set up properly or does not
match network settings on the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1). Problems may also arise
when printing from a specific application or printing a particular file.
Most of these problems show up as printing problems, and do not necessarily indicate a
Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) malfunction. The customer’s network administrator can
eliminate many printing problems without requiring you to make a service call. The
network administrator deals with:
• Copier error conditions
• Network connection problems that result in the Print Controller X4(AR-PE1) not
appearing in the printer list on the customer’s workstation

• Printing problems caused by the inappropriate Setup options
• Application-specific printing errors caused by missing or incorrectly placed printer
