Ecografix 53436EG

Ext.PS(87225EG):Test page output procedure; Check 87225EG disk/memory size.

A.    The External Adobe PostScript Interpreter (Model 87225EG) contains a
      built-in function to produce a test page on the plotter.  For this
      model, the documentation refers to this as a Start Page.
      
      1.    The Start Page, when output, will list the 65 built-in PostScript
            fonts, a graphic of the Ecografix 53436G plotter, and statistical
            data (the PostScript version/revision, memory contained in the
            87225EG,  resolution, page count, serial communication
            parameters, Ethernet address, and disk space).
      
      2.    If a component or connector within the External PostScript
            Interpreter should fail, a Start Page may be output and the
            values printed on the plotter may be examined.
            
            a.    For example: If the SCSI cable to the disk drive is not
                  connected, the disk size will show a value of zero.  If
                  this is should occur, then follow the steps outlined in the
                  Adobe PostScript Level 2 Interpreter User's Guide by
                  performing the following:
                  
                  i.    Unplug the power cord to the Interpreter.
                  
                  ii.   Remove the cover of the Interpreter.
                  
                  iii.  Verify that the cable connectors are tight to the
                        SCSI disk drive.
                  
                  iv.   Replace the cover back on the Interpreter.
                  
                  v.    Reconnect the power cord to the Interpreter.
                  
                  vi.   Output a Start Page again to examine the disk size.
                  
                  vii.  If the disk size is still incorrect, then the SCSI
                        drive might be defective.

B.    To print a Start Page, perform the following steps:
      
      1.    Ensure that the Ecografix 53436EG plotter is set up.
            
            a.    If necessary, load media into the plotter.
            
            b.    Turn on the plotter power and wait for it to display
                  ONLINE.
      
      2.    Turn on the power to the Interpreter (87225EG).
      
            NOTE: The initialization process takes about one minute and
            follows this sequence at the interpreter:
            
            a.    All interpreter lights on the front panel turn on for
                  approximately 10 seconds.
            
            b.    The Busy, Error, and Bypass lights turn off. Only the Power
                  light remains on for approximately 10 seconds.
            
            c.    The Busy light turns on for approximately 45 seconds.
            
            d.    The Busy light turns off.
            
            e.    The interpreter is now ready to print a Start Page or
                  receive a PostScript job.
      
      3.    Ensure that no other jobs are being sent to the interpreter.
      
      4.    Initiate a Start Page by pressing and holding the BYPASS switch
            until the BUSY light turns on. The BUSY light will begin
            flashing.
      
      5.    The Start Page will be output to the plotter.
      
      6.    When the interpreter is idle, the Start Page may be output at
            anytime by pressing and holding the BYPASS button for at least
            three seconds.
