Verifying printer setup

When all hardware and software options are installed and the printer is turned on, verify that the printer is set up correctly by printing the following:

• Menu settings page—Use this page to verify that all printer options are installed correctly. If an option you

installed is not listed, then it is not installed correctly. Remove the option, and then install it again.

• Network setup page—If your printer has networking support, then use this page to verify that the network

connection is working. This page also provides important information that aids network printing conﬁguration.

Printing a menu settings page

Print a menu settings page to view the current menu settings and to verify if the printer options are installed correctly.

From the printer control panel, navigate to:

Note: If you have not changed any menu settings, then the menu settings page lists all the factory default settings. Settings saved from the menus replace the factory default settings as user default settings. A user default setting remains in eect until you access the menu again, select another value, and save it.

Printing a network setup page

If the printer is attached to a network, then print a network setup page to verify the network connection. This page also provides important information that aids network printing conﬁguration.
