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.
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 107.
If you want to change any of the parameters, use one of the methods described
in Section 8 Print Server Management Methods, on page 57.
Follow the instructions below to restore most of the print server settings to
factory default values:

remains constantly lit.
6. Disconnect the Power Adapter.
