Testing the Þle server-to-printer connection
1.
To test the Þle-server-to-printer connection, Þrst use the
CAPTURE command to redirect output sent to a port to a network
queue. For example:
CAPTURE NB NFF NT Q=PHASER L=1
where:
NB speciÞes NO BANNER
NFF speciÞes NO FORM FEED
NT speciÞes NO TABS
L=1 speciÞes port LPT1
Q=PHASER speciÞes PHASER as the queue name
2.
Use any text editor to create a two-line ASCII Þle with the
following contents:
%!
showpage
3.
Use the COPY command to send the Þle to the printer. For
example, if the Þle is called SHOWPAGE, and the printer is
assigned to LPT1, type:
COPY SHOWPAGE LPT1:
If the Þle server-to-printer connection is good, the printer ejects a
blank page.
