To test communication between your printer and your PC, first create
a short file that ejects a page from the printer. Then send the file to
the printer.
To create the test file, type the following commands at the DOS
prompt:
copy con printest.ps
↵
showpage↵
^D^Z↵
You can use either uppercase or lowercase letters; however, you
must type the PostScript showpage operator in lowercase letters.
The ↵ symbol means to press the Enter key. To produce the ^D and
^Z, press and hold down the Ctrl key while you type the appropriate
letters (d and z). These characters signify the end of the file and must
always be included.
