Verifying printer setup

Once all hardware and software options are installed and the printer is turned on, verify that the printer is set up correctly by printing the following:

Printing a menu settings page

Print a menu settings page to review the current menu settings and to verify printer options are installed correctly.

Note: If you have not made any menu item settings changes yet, then the menu settings page lists all the factory default settings. Once you select and save other settings from the menus, they replace the factory default settings as user default settings. A user default setting remains in effect until you access the menu again, choose another value, and save it.

Make sure the printer is on and Ready appears.
From the printer control panel, press .
Press the arrow buttons until Reports appears, and then press .
Press the arrow buttons until Menu Settings Page appears, and then press .
After the menu settings page prints, Ready appears.

Printing a network setup page

If the printer is attached to a network, print a network setup page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that aids network printing configuration.

Make sure the printer is on and Ready appears.
From the printer control panel, press .
Press the down arrow button until Reports appears, and then press .
Press the down arrow button until Network Setup Page appears, and then press .
After the network setup page prints, Ready appears.
Check the first section on the network setup page, and confirm that Status is “Connected.”
If Status is “Not Connected,” the LAN drop may not be active, the network cable may be malfunctioning, or, if you have a wireless printer model, the wireless network may not be configured properly. Consult a system support person for a solution, and then print another network setup page.
