Startup and configuration pages

Turning off the startup page

 You can disable the startup page by sending a PostScript language utility file (found on the printer's utilities diskette) to the printer. For details on how to turn off the startup page, refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference.

Even when the startup page is turned on, you can stop the startup page from printing by removing the paper tray at power-up. Put the paper tray back in after the power-up sequence is complete.

If the printer has picked paper and is printing the startup page, it can be cancelled by lifting and lowering the printer top cover.

Generating a configuration page

The Phaser 300X can generate a configuration page that contains information that is useful in Ethernet installation and troubleshooting network problems.

There are two ways to generate the configuration page:

Use the printer's rear panel switches.

  1. Set Switches 2, 3, and 4 down.

  2. Set Switch 4 up.

    The printer generates the configuration page as soon as Switch 4 is set (you do not have to reset the printer).

  3. When the configuration page has printed, reset Switch 4 to down.

Send the PostScript language file for printing the configuration page to the printer.

See the manual Network Utilities for Phaser Color Printers, or the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for more information on the configuration page.

Print count

The startup page lists the number of pages printed under General Information. You can also use the Utilities mode to check how many prints the printer has made. Refer to "Utilities mode menu structure" for more information on the Utilities mode.

  1. When the printer is on and the Ready message appears in the front panel, press the UTILITIES button. You see this message (Vx.xx is the firmware version number):

    Utilities Vx.xx
    Exit Next

    In the Utilities mode, you can scroll through the menu selections using the TEST PRINT button (which corresponds to the front panel's messages Next), and execute a function or change a setting using the CLEAN PRINT HEAD button (which corresponds to the front panel's message Exit).

  2. Press the TEST PRINT button to scroll through the Utilities mode menu until the Copy Count message appears in the front panel window. (In this example of the message, nnn represents the number of prints.)

    Copy count
    < nnn > Next

  3. Press the TEST PRINT button several times to return to this message.

    Utilities Vx.xx
    Exit Next

  4. Press the CLEAN PRINT HEAD button to exit the Utilities mode.
