Printer Test Page
Generate a Printer Test Page using the Print key on the printer front
panel. Use the Print key only to verify printer operation, NOT to verify
network parameters.
If network parameters reported on the Printer Test Page, (i.e. EtherTalk
Name, TCP/IP Address) do not match the ACTUAL parameters reported
on the NIC Configuration Test Page, this will not affect network operation.
However, to avoid confusion from mis-matching parameters reported on
the Printer Test Page, the following mechanisms can be used to modify
parameters reported on a Printer test Page as well as those displayed
through the front display panel.
AppleTalk Name, AppleTalk Zone, Preferred Server
Copy, edit, and download the Printer Config file to update the appropriate
parameters on the Printer Test Page to be consistent with the parameters
reported on the NIC Configuration Test Page.
TCP/IP Address, AppleTalk Phase, IPX Frametype
Use the front control panel to enter remaining parameters on the Printer
Test Page consistent with parameters reported on the NIC Configuration
Test Page.

Using the Apple Printer Utility for Downloading Configuration Files
You can change NIC configuration parameters (other than the AppleTalk
name) by modifying a NIC configuration file, then downloading the file to
the printer/NIC.
To modify and download a configuration file with the Apple Printer Utility:
1. Open the Utilities for Macintosh diskette or folder.
2. Copy the NIC Config file. It should open with TeachText; if not, use a
text editor that saves as ASCII.
3. Edit the list of configuration choices.
