Phaser 540 Color Printer
If you have a PC
Type this DOS command:
echo  %!  >  port
echo  showpage [Ctrl-D]  >  port
Where 
[CTRL-D]
 indicates pressing the 
D
 key while holding down 
the 
CTRL
 key.  Substitute the name of the printer port (for example 
COM1
:
COM2
:
LPT1
:
LPT2
:) for the variable port in this 
command.  For example, if you are testing a parallel connection on 
LPT1
, type:
echo  %!  >  lpt1:
echo  showpage [Ctrl-D]  >  lpt1:
If the communication link between your computer and the printer 
is working, the printer ejects a blank page.  If this occurs, but you 
cannot print from your application or through Windows, make 
sure that the appropriate driver is installed and that you have 
selected the printer correctly.
