Test-Printing with an Ethernet Printer Connected to a Network

You can test-print on an printer connected to Ethernet (LAN or WLAN) in one of two ways: use an MS-DOS command from the command prompt, or select

Run

from the Windows

Start

menu.

Create a text file with this ASCII string:

~WC

Save the file an arbitrary filename such as

TEST.ZPL

.

Find the IP address on the printer Configuration Report – Network Status printout.

From a central device that is connected to the same LAN or WAN as the printer, type the following in a web browser window address bar and press

Enter

:

ftp x.x.x.x

(where the

x.x.x.x

is the IP address of your printer).

For an IP address that reads

123.45.67.01

, you would enter

ftp 123.45.67.01

Type the word

put

followed by the filename and press

Enter

.

For a test print using the file

TEST.ZPL

, the command to use is

put TEST.ZPL

.

The printer prints a printer configuration report.
