Installing the Printer and Drivers

The configuration page
To provide further diagnostic information, the printer is able to print a
configuration page. The configuration page lists the values the printer stores in
its NVRAM. These values can be very informative when troubleshooting the
printer, particular in regards to networked operations. A downloadable
PostScript snippet, found on the Drivers and Utilities diskette, allows you to
print the startup page. You can also use the rear panel DIP switches to print one.
Refer to the Section 6 topic “Image processor rear panel switches for self-testing”
on page 6-18 for details on printing the configuration page.
The configuration page gives you information on:
■
General information about the printer, such as page count, the
programmed name, Ethernet address, the TCP/IP authorization code
(if loaded), timeouts, number of fonts, and total memory
■
Color settings such as finepoint enabled and blue adjust.
■
Serial port settings
■
Parallel port settings
■
LocalTalk port settings
■
EtherTalk settings
■
TCP/IP settings
■
Novell settings
