Test The Connection; Printer Configuration - Printronix T2N series User Manual

Test the Connection

Once Tool Interface selection is complete, click the Read button in the lower-right corner (see Figure 6,
page 57) to upload the printer's current configuration into the Configuration Utility fields. For USB
connection, this process is automatic.
If the Configuration Utility is working properly, the "Communicating..." progress bar appears and the
Printer Configuration values will be populated. If communication is not working properly, an error will
display indicating "Port Open Error" or "Data Transmission Error".
If communication problems persist, change the Tool Interface to USB. This is the easiest method of
establishing communication with the printer. Once communication is established, click "Read" to upload
the configuration. Check the Interface Tab settings if necessary.
