Phaser 140 Color Printer
Test the printer by making a sample print
1.
Press the down (
ß) arrow key until the front panel displays this 
message:
PRINT SAMPLES
2.
Press the right (
Þ) arrow key until the front panel displays this 
message:
print supplies
3.
Press the SELECT button.  The printer exits the menu and prints the 
sample page (in this example, it is a list of printer supplies).  After 
the page is printed, the printer is ready for normal operation.
If the printer fails to produce a test print, make sure that paper and ink 
cartridges are loaded.  Check the front panel for any reported errors.  If you 
have paper and ink loaded and the printer does not produce a sample print, 
the printer requires service.
Verifying communication between your computer and the printer 
If the printer produces a sample print, the printer is functional, and the next 
step is to verify that your computer can communicate with the printer.  
To verify that your computer can communicate with the printer, use one of 
these methods:
If you have a Macintosh, make sure that you have the correct 
driver installed and that you have selected the printer in the 
Chooser
.  If the printer's name does not appear in the Chooser, 
your LocalTalk or EtherTalk connection may be faulty.  See also 
ÒPrinter doesn't appear in the Chooser (Macintosh)Ó on page 6-5.
You can use the Print Window or Print Desktop command to 
send a Þle to the printer without using an application.  If the 
communication link between your computer and the printer is 
working, the printer produces a directory listing of the active 
window on the desktop.
