2-12 Phaser 440 Color Printer

factory default condition is to have the startup page disabled. A downloadable
PostScript utility file, found on the Drivers and Utilities diskette, allows you to
enable or disable the startup page.
The startup page provides you with valuable information about the printer:
Fonts
Ports (Serial, Parallel, LocalTalk, Ethernet)
Printer name

an error message shown in red. This is true, even if the startup page has been
disabled; the printer will still force a print to report the error.

not work and throughput may suffer.
