Printer Configuration Problems

Test the Printer Port

Procedure

To test a printer port, enter the following command on your access server. Substitute the

number of the port for 1. Specify COUNT 10 for line printers and COUNT 70 (or greater)

for laser printers:

Local> TEST PORT 1 COUNT 70

The TEST PORT command performs the following functions:

• Verifies the communication settings on the port

• Verifies the cables are working correctly

• Verifies the device (printer) is working properly

Additional Steps

After executing the TEST PORT command, if you do not see any results on the printer,

take the following steps:

More Information

For more information on using the TEST PORT command, refer to the Network Access

Software Commands Reference Guide.

Step Action

1 Replace the printer with a terminal

2 Modify the characteristics of the terminal to match that of the port

3 Enter the TEST PORT command again

4 If you receive output on the terminal (test successful), the printer might be faulty or

set up incorrectly. If the test fails, the port is faulty. See the section Verifying a Port

for Hardware Failure (page 10-8).

The TEST PORT command is valid only when sending data to ANSI devices.

However, the Port Type characteristic does not have to be set to ANSI.
