Installing the Print Server 2-15

ENWW

Step 3

. Before Installing the Card, 

Verify That Your Printer Works

To verify that your printer is working properly, print a Printer 
Configuration page. The Printer Configuration page will display the 
operating status of the printer. 

The steps to print a Printer Configuration page varies with each 
printer. Some printers provide a menu map to help you navigate 
the printer’s control panel to print a Printer Configuration page.  
See your printer documentation for specific instructions.

Note

The name of the Printer Configuration page may 
also vary by printer. For example, HP DesignJet 
printers provide a “Service Configuration print” 
that displays status information.
