The Test Button
The test button is located on the front right hand side of the AXIS 5500/AXIS
5550 and is used for:
• Printing a test page to check the connection to the printer.
• Printing a parameter list to see the print server's current settings.
• Performing a Factory Default of the print server.
If you want to change any of the parameters, use one of the methods described
in Section 8 Print Server Management, on page 82.
Press the test button once to print a test page. The test page contains basic
information about the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550. It is recommended that you print
a test page every time you connect the print server to a printer.
AXIS 5550 has two printer ports. If just one of ports is connected to a printer, the test page will
be printed on that port. If each port is connected to a printer, the default setting will send the
test page to the parallel printer. The default behavior can be changed from the print server's
internal Web pages under Admin | General Settings =>Change.
Press the test button twice to print a parameter list showing the current AXIS
5500/AXIS 5550 settings. This list provides comprehensive details of all the
parameters and their current status. Refer to Section 14 The Parameter List, on
page 132.
Follow the instructions below to restore the factory default values in print
servers with firmware version 6.43 and up:
1. Remove the external power supply to switch off the print server.
2. Press and hold down the test button, while you reconnect the external power
supply.
3. Continue to hold down the test button until the network indicator remains
constantly lit. This should take about 20 seconds.
4. Restart the print server by disconnecting and reconnecting the external power
supply.
A factory default will reset all print server parameters and settings to their default values,
except installed certificates and private keys.
