							202 Basic Operations
There are several pages that you can print from the printer panel. This 
section provides instructions for printing a Test Print, a Configuration Page, 
and PostScript Font List. 
The Test Print includes a color sample as well as the printer’s name, 
enabled network protocols, memory configurations, and installed options.
The Configuration Page lists information about the printer, the current Setup 
configuration, and the number of printer fonts. It’s a good idea to print a 
Configuration Page before you make Setup changes, in case you need to 
restore some settings later.
The PostScript Font List prints out the list of available printer fonts.
You can print a Test Print before you set up the printer—or at any other time 
from the “Ready” or the “Ready(Sleep)” screen.
To print a Test Print:
1Turn on the printer and allow it to warm up.
Messages appear on the printer panel as the KX-PS8100 printer 
runs through its power-up tests.
2From the Ready screen, press the MENU/EXIT button 
on the printer panel.
3Press the ENTER button. 
4Press the s/CONTINUE button until you see Test Print 
and then press the ENTER button.
5Examine the quality of the Test Print.

The scanner panel functions and menus
The scanner panel enables you to set menus and view the status of the 
scanner. This section provides information about:
•Status messages and error messages
•Main menus you can access from the scanner panel
For a detailed explanation of the activity lights and buttons on the scanner 
panel, see “Scanner panel overview” on page 35.
When the scanner is scanning normally, status information about current 
jobs appears in the display window. The messages are:
•Ready—Displays while the scanner is ready to print but not processing or 
scanning a job.
•Scanning—Displays while a job is scanning.
•Sleep—Appears when the printer is in an Power Saver mode. 
If there is a scanning problem, the ERROR indicator will be on, and an error 
will appear in the display window. For information about error messages, 
see “Scanner LCD panel” on page 246.
The table on the next page describes the scanner’s main menus. 
The scanner Menu mode includes a Main menu and a Selection menu that 
can be changed from the scanner panel.
In the duplicate ready status (when “Ready” is displayed in the upper line of 
the LCD), pressing the MODE button will allow you to enter the Menu mode.
