Windows test page
Follow these steps to print a Windows test page on all supported operating systems.This card will print
across a network and can confirm that the driver and printer are communicating correctly.
The printer must be connected to the PC with the driver installed, and both printer and PC must be
running.
1 Select Start from the Windows taskbar.
2 Select Settings and then Printers (Printers and Faxes on Windows XP) from the Windows Start menu.
The Printers (and Faxes) window appears.
3 Click once on the printer icon.
4 Select File from the Printers menu bar, and then select Properties. The Properties dialog box appears.
5 Select the Print Test Page button on the General tab. Wait while Windows creates a test page image.
The card will print when the PC and printer are connected, and the printer and driver are working
together.
– After you select the Print Test Page button, Windows displays a wizard asking if the page printed
correctly. Click “Yes” on this dialog box to end the Wizard. This guide provides the information you
need to address problems with PC to printer communication.
6 Remove the card from the printer. The card should look similar to the cards shown below.
Tips for Success
• The exact appearance depends on the operating system and selections made on the PC
(some cards have more characters printed while others have fewer characters). Any printing on
the card is considered successful printing, regardless of the appearance of the card.
• If the card does not print, troubleshoot a communication problem. See Communication
problems for steps to follow.
• The Windows test page can have a very different appearance, depending on the operating
system and how the printer is connected to the PC.
