Verifying the Connection to the Printer
NOTE: Before attempting to print, it is very important to verify the
connection between the print server and the printer. If this connection is
not good, you will not be able to print!
To verify the connection, make sure that both the print server and the
printer are powered on and ready, and then print a test page by briefly
(more than one-eighth second but less than five seconds) depressing the
Test button. If the connection is good, a test page will print on the
printer. If nothing prints out, make sure that the cable or I/O connection
is good and that it is securely fastened.
NOTE: The test page will only work with printers that can directly print
PCL, PostScript, or text. It will not work with some low-end "Windows"
printers like the HP DeskJet 820 (which performs the image rasterization in
the PC), nor will it work with HP-GL/2 or RTL plotters (unless the
PostScript option is installed). For such devices, you must print a job from
an appropriate application program in order to test the print server-to-
printer connection.
