Test Pattern Generator
D-2
Phaser 550 Color Printer
To use the Test Pattern Generator, do the following:
1.
Select a test pattern to be printed using the Test Pattern Generator's
five DIP switches. The following tables lists the available test
patterns.
2.
Plug the Test Pattern Generator onto the printer's parallel port. Use
the parallel cable adapter (013-0299-00) to convert between the Test
Pattern Generator's Centronics-style connector and the printer's
new-style, high-density parallel port connector. You do not have to
turn the printer off; you can plug in the Test Pattern Generator "hot."
3.
Press the Test Pattern Generator's START button. Its green LED
flashes as you press the button.
4.
The printer will print the transmitted print file. The front panel
displays the message "Waiting for data," with the READY light
flashing, for five minutes after a test print has been sent to the printer.
However, you do not have to wait five minutes before sending
another test print from the Test Pattern Generator; the printer will
accept another test print.
Besides print files, the test pattern generator also allows you to turn off and on
the printer's startup page.
Additionally, the Test Pattern Generator lets you set up a printer for printing
from a 4511A Network Interface. To do so, just select the appropriate DIP switch
setting.
