Installing the Printer and Drivers 2
The configuration page
To provide further diagnostic information, the printer is able to print a configuration
page. The configuration page lists the values that the printer stores in its NVRAM.
These values can be informative when troubleshooting the printer, particularly
networked operations. A downloadable PostScript utility file, found on the Drivers and
Utilities diskette, allows you to print the configuration page. You can also use the rear
panel DIP switches to print one. To print a configuration page, while the printer is
powered-up and idle toggle rear panel Switch 4 up and down.
The configuration page gives you the following information:
n General information about the printer, such as print count, the programmed
name, timeouts, number of fonts, and total memory
n Color settings such as Vivid Blue.
n Serial port settings
n Parallel port settings
n LocalTalk port settings
