5. Displayed on the bottom of the dialog box is the background printing
option. Click the OFF button to turn it off. (If desired, this can be
turned back on after the printer verification.)
6.
Close the Chooser by clicking on the small box in the upper-left corner
of the dialog box; the Phaser 360 is now your chosen printer.
You have now verified that the printer is on the network and is communicating
with the Macintosh.
If you do not see the printer listed in the dialog box, then the printer is not
communicating with the Macintosh. Check the printer's cable connection to the
network. Also check the printer to see if its rear panel health LED is blinking.
Ensure that the correct network is selected, in the event that the Macintosh is
connected to more than one network (such as both LocalTalk and Ethernet).
Refer to Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting" for more information about networks.
More troubleshooting tips are included in the reference manual Phaser 360

1. Make sure that you have an open window displayed on the screen
(such as the hard disk drive's window).
2. At the Macintosh desktop, click and hold on the File menu bar item.
3. For System 7 or higher : Scroll down the File pull-down menu and
select the item Print Window... .
For System 6.0.7 to 6.0.8 : Scroll down the File pull-down menu and
select the item Print Directory... .
4. A print dialog box appears on the screen. Click on the Print button in
the upper right corner of the dialog box to send a file to the printer.
This verifies that the Macintosh and the printer driver can send a file to the
printer. If the printer does not make a print, then there may be a problem with
the printer driver. In this case, if possible, you should verify that the Macintosh
can print to a different printer on the same network. Choose a different
PostScript printer driver such as an Apple LaserWriter in the Chooser and then
repeat Steps 2 and 3. If the file doesn't print, then the customer must diagnose
and fix the problem on the Macintosh.
