Printer Setup and Operation
6. Press Printer Type to access the Printer Type menu keys. Press Auto to make
the analyzer attempt to identify the connected printer. When you press
Auto,
the analyzer will respond in one of the three following ways:
• The
Print Setup menu will be displayed with the Auto key selected and no
new message will be displayed in the display status line. This indicates that
the analyzer has successfully identified the connected printer and no further
setup is required. As long as
Auto remains selected in the Printer Type
menu, the analyzer will attempt to identify the printer when the front panel
Print key is pressed.
• The
Print Setup menu will be displayed with the Custom key selected and
one of the following diagnostic messages will be displayed in the display
status line:
Unknown printer, Define Custom to set up printer
No printer response, Define Custom to set up
printer
Invalid printer response, Define Custom to set up
printer
This indicates that the analyzer was unable to automatically identify the
connected printer, and
Custom has been selected in the Printer Type menu.
Press
Print Setup, Define Custom to select specific printer characteristics
such as the printer language (PCL3 or PCL5) and color printing capability.
Once you have set these characteristics to match those of your connected
printer, the printer setup process is complete. As long as
Custom remains
selected in the
Printer Type menu, the analyzer will not attempt to
automatically identify the connected printer when the front panel
Print key
is pressed.
• The
Print Setup menu will be displayed with the None key selected and the
following message will appear in the display status line:
Unsupported printer, Printer Type set to None
This indicates that the analyzer has successfully identified the connected
printer, but the printer is not supported by the analyzer. As long as
None is
selected in the Printer Type menu, the analyzer will respond to any print
command by displaying the message Printer Type is None in the
display status line.
