Send A Print File To The Printer; Using The Error Handler Utility - Tektronix Phaser 360 Service Manual

Using the Error Handler utility

Send a print file to the printer
1.
Log into a file server from a NetWare workstation.
2. Type:
CAPTURE NB NT Q=<queue name> L=1
where <queue name> is the name established by the network
administrator of a queue the printer is to service, such as TEK360. L=1
specifies port LPT1
3.
Use any text editor to create the following two-line, text-only print file.
%!
showpage
4.
Copy the print file to LPT1 using this syntax:
copy <file.nam> LPT1:
where <file.nam> is the name of the print file.
The printer should load and then eject a blank sheet of paper.
If the print file does not print, verify that:
The printer has been set up to service the queue.
The password set for the printer (if one was set by the administrator), is
the same as that used for the print server.
The Ethernet frame type that the printer is using is supported by the file
server.
The correct printer language is being used by the printer to interpret the
incoming print file; this is indicated on the printer's configuration page.
5. When you are able to send a print file to the printer, launch an
application on one of the Novell-networked workstations and print to
the printer's queue.
If the PC does not print to the printer, scroll to the menu item Printer Defaults
and enable the sub-menu item Error Handler. If an error occurs, the printer will
print a page listing the error. Send a file to the printer as explained in the
previous procedure.
