Printer Test - To Check Configuration

If you need to check the printer configuration, perform the following steps to print the printer test page. 
  1. Turn the printer off.
  2. Hold the "Feed" button and turn the printer on.
  3. Keeping the feed button until the printer starts printing the "Test" page (See the sample picture below) 

The printer test page gives some great information. Communication/Interface Type, IP Address, Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity and More. 

*Note: After printing the test page, you must power cycle the printer to return it to normal operation mode.  

Here is a sample of the Serial (RS232) interface settings

If it is an Ethernet printer, it will typically show the IP Address programmed.
