CHAPTER 34

NeWSprinter Test (spdtest)

spdtest is a two-part test that checks the printer support hardware. The first part is a register test that checks the NeWSprinter^(TM) 20 SBus printer card's internal functions. The second part is a printing test that checks the interaction between the printer and the print server, as well as the printer's capabilities.

TABLE 34-1 spdtest

spdtest Options	Description
Functional Test	This test is composed of two subtests: ·The Register subtest checks the NeWSprinter 20 SBus printer card. ·The Printing subtest tests the printer's capabilities. The default setting is Register.
Resolution	This exclusive setting defines the printer resolution of the printer test pattern. You can choose either 300 or 400 dots per inch (dpi). The default setting is 300 dpi.
Tray	From the Tray menu, you can choose from five types of paper cassettes: ·Main Tray (or Tray 1) is the top cassette that feeds paper to the printer. ·Tray 2 is the bottom cassette that feeds paper to the printer. ·Tray 3 is an optional tray. ·Manual Tray is a manual feed tray connected to the rear of the printer. This tray is used to hand-feed print media that cannot be accommodated by the paper cassettes. ·Auxiliary Feeder is optionally installed in place of the manual feed tray. The Feeder stores and automatically feeds print media that would otherwise require the manual feed. The default setting is the Main tray.
Mode	From the Mode menu, you can set the interval at which images are printed. The choices are: ·Fast: prints an image every 10 seconds. ·Medium:prints an image every 12 minutes. ·Extended: prints an image every 30 minutes. The default setting is Fast.
Image	Use this option to enter the file name of the test image to print.

spdtest Test Mode

This test only supports the Functional Test mode.

spdtest Command Line Syntax

/opt/SUNWvts/bin/spdtest standard_arguments -o dev=device_name,
func=function,reso=resolution,tray=tray,mode=mode,image=image

TABLE 34-2 spdtest

Argument	Explanation
dev=device_name	Specifies the full path name of the device.
func=function	Represents one of the following functional tests: register = Register test printing = Printing test
reso=resolution	Specifies a number that indicates print resolution: 300 = 300 dpi 400 = 400 dpi
tray=tray	Specifies a number that represents the printer cassette type: main = Main tray (Tray 1) tray2 = Tray 2 tray3 = Tray 3 (optional) manual = Manual Tray aux = Auxiliary feeder (optional)
mode=mode	Specifies a number that represents how often to print the test image: fast = Fast (Prints an image every 10 seconds) medium = Medium (Prints an image every 12 minutes) extended = Extended (Prints an image every 30 minutes)
image=image	Specifies a raster file name.
