Step 2: Running the test script

Your Document Server Admin comes with sample scripts you can use to make sure all of

your Document Servers and MFPs are communicating with each other.

1 Click the New Profile icon from the toolbar. This launches the MFP ProfileWizard,

which steps you through the following process.

2 Select the Primary Document Server and then click the Script icon.

3 Select the sample script check box.

4 Select the MFP you want to send the script to.

5 Accept the default scan settings.

6 Go to the MFP. Press Fax/Scan or Profile until you see the name of the profile. The

profile name is the same as the script name.

7 Place your document facedown on the scanner bed, and then press Go.

8 Press Stop when you are finished scanning.

your profile.
