Appendix A Test Button
The test button is located on the front right hand side of the AXIS 
5600 and is used for:
• Printing a test page, checking the connection to the printer.
• Printing a parameter list, showing the AXIS 5600 current settings.
• Resetting the AXIS 5600 parameters to the factory default
settings.
The Test Page Press the test button once to print a test page. If the test page prints, 
the parallel interface is functioning correctly. The printed Test Page 
contains basic information about the AXIS 5600. It is recommended 
that you print a test page every time you have connected the AXIS 
5600 to a printer.
Note: ❏ The test page is printed on LPT1 by default. If you want to print 
the test page on LPT2 or COM1 instead, you should set the 
Internal Printout Destination parameter to LPT2 respectively 
COM1.
The Parameter List Press the test button twice to print a parameter list showing the 
current AXIS 5600 settings. This list provides comprehensive details 
of all the parameters and their current status. Refer to 
B - The Parameter List, on page 143. 
If you want to change any of the parameters, use one of the methods 
that are described in
Section 9 Management & Configuration, on page 98.
Note: ❏ The parameter list is printed on LPT1 by default. If you want to 
print the parameter list on LPT2 or COM1 instead, you should 
set the Internal Printout Destination parameter to LPT2 
respectively COM1.
