What the Hardware Configuration Test Label Tells You
The hardware test label provides these statistics:
• Amount of installed memory
• Amount of media printed
• Printhead configuration
• Firmware information
• Printhead alignment (the vertical lines)
If a Hardware Configuration Test Label Does Not Print
If you are unable to print a hardware configuration test label, see "Printer
Operation Problems" on page 42.
You can connect your printer to a PC, a local area network, an AS/400 (or
other midrange computer), or a mainframe. This section tells you how to
connect your printer to any of these systems.
You can use any of these three ports on the rear of the printer:
• Serial communications port
• Parallel port
• I/O board port (if you have an adapter card installed)
