Kyocera Ecosys P2135dn / P2040dn Status Page Shortcut

[bergerb]

Hi,

I am trying to print a Status Page via shortcut (Long-Pressing the Go-Button for 3-9 seconds) but it seems like it just does not work on P2135dn/P2040dn..
Are there any hidden settings to enable that feature?

I have also seen the usb-stick-prescribe way, but that also involves menu-digging

Is there maybe something I can put on a usb stick, that automatically gets executed? Or emulate keystrokes or something like that?

PRESCRIBE commands: test page, network status page?

Yeah I know about those commands. And also about the manual. But I am looking for a way to print the status page without going through the menu or sending prescribe commands

On the old kyocera you could send data down throught the web page but I think kyocera removed that feature.

You can also use the ic-link tool the print status pages
Also km Net viewer to send data down

Even if you had the command lines on a USB stick you would still have use the menu key to upload the file.

Whats the issue with the printer?

I know.

Nothing wrong with the printer. I would like to print a status page with the click of one button.

Like that:

But it seems like that feature is missing or disabled on my printer.

!R! elog; stat; stat1; page; exit; Save this string in note pad as a .capt file and save it to a jump drive. Plug int machine and print the file.

Oooo can you get llu report page this way?

So you just turn machine on with usb inserted or will it just run from putting the stick in at any point?

Treat it like printing any PDF from USB. Insert the USB anytime. When the menu becomes visible select the .capt file, and print. It's extraordinarily handy.

For a decades I've been using LPR Jar to send PreScribe command files from my laptop, and it works ... but now I do not have to boot up the laptop or connect the network cable. Very convenient. Simply rename the files that I've attached with the .capt file extension. =^..^=

This is good to know. I always thought people were using .prn files and it never worked for me. Probably because it should have been .capt

Can someone explain "saving as a .capt" file? If I have a notepad open it only saves it as .txt

Thanks

For Notepad, from the File menu choose 'Save as'...when the save window opens, under the filename, change "Save as Type" to 'All Files'.

You may now save the file with a .capt extension.

Also, if you enable 'View File Extensions' you can see and change the file extension from Windows Explorer Folder window. (Open Windows folder->View menu-> Check 'File Name Extensions' box).
