Diagnosing printer problems
The DIAGNOSTIC MENU of the GERBER EDGE FX provides a small test print to verify that
the printer is capable of printing and a network test to determine the network throughput. From
the DIAGNOSTIC MENU you can also view the firmware version information which you may
need if speaking with Gerber technical representatives.
More diagnostic tools are available in the GERBER EDGE FX web interface. See “Using the
Diagnostic web page” on page 71.
