Phaser 600


Printing the startup page
By default, printing of the startup page is enabled on power up. However, you can print the startup page anytime you need information on the number of pages that have been printed, the amount of installed memory, the number of fonts in memory, and installed interface ports.

Use the following methods to print a copy of the printer's startup page without turning the printer off and on.


Note: If the printer detects a non-fatal failure, it automatically prints a startup page containing diagnostic information regardless of the startup page setting.
There are several ways to print the startup page:

Printing the startup page from the front panel

  1. While the Ready message is displayed, press the Menu button. The printer displays the first item in the menu:

    Help Pages
    <---- ----> Menu

  2. Press the Menu button to access the Help Pages. The following message appears:

    Menu Map
    <---- ----> Print

  3. Press the left arrow (<----) or right arrow (---->) buttons until the following message appears:

    Startup Page
    <---- ----> Print

  4. Press the Print button to print a startup page.

Printing the startup page with a downloadable utility file

Use one of the following methods to download a utility file to the printer to print the startup page:

Macintosh utility file: Print Start Page


Note: If you are using QuickDraw GX, you can use the Xerox Phaser 600 GX driver to print a copy of the printer's startup page.
  1. Install the utility files from the Phaser 600 printer's CD-ROM; see Macintosh software for instructions.

  2. Select the appropriate printer in the Chooser.

  3. Locate the LaserWriter Utility in the PhaserTools folder on your hard disk, and double-click its icon to start the application.

  4. Choose Download PostScript File from the Utilities menu.

  5. Select the Print Start Page file from the list, then click Open. (This file was installed in the Printer Utilities folder, inside the PhaserTools folder.)

  6. At the prompt Save PostScript output as: you are asked for a file name for saving printer output. Use either the default name given in the edit box or type a new name.

  7. Click Save to send the file to the printer.

  8. If no output is returned by the printer, the LaserWriter Utility displays a dialog box; click OK to continue.

PC utility file: PRNTSTPG.PS

  1. Follow the instructions in PC/Windows software to install the printer's software. Select Easy Install to automatically install the software, or select the Printer Utilities item in the Custom Install: Utilities window.

  2. Locate the files in the PHSR600 subdirectory, inside the PHSRTOOL directory created on your hard disk by the installer application.

  3. Use one of the following methods to send the PRNTSTPG.PS file to the printer:

    • PC users: Use the DOS COPY command to send the file to the printer. (Windows 3.1 users can also use the Copy command in the File Manager.)

    • Workstation users: Send the file to the printer as you would any PostScript file.
