How to print a configuration report on a Sharp MX-M350N

Sharp MX-M350N

The configuration report for a Sharp MX-M350N copier includes two pages -- one with general network settings and one with more specific details. To print the configuration report, follow the steps below.

  • Press the System Settings button on the copier's operation panel (to the right of the touch screen).
  • From the options displayed on the touch screen, select List Print.
  • Select Printer Test Page.
  • Select NIC Page to print the configuration report.  Both pages (the system status report and the configuration report) will begin printing.

The configuration report won't show the copier's page count.  If you want to see the page count, hold down the Copy button for about a second, and it will be displayed on the screen.

How to print a configuration page from an Okifax 5300

Okifax 5300

If you want to see at a glance how your Okifax 5300 fax machine is configured, you can print out a configuration page, rather than have to scroll through all of the menu settings and view them one by one.  Printing a configuration page does not use a lot of toner, and it gives you a good overview of the machine's settings.

Unlike with many fax machines and printers, the configuration page for an Okifax 5300 does not display the machine's page count.  For instructions on how to view the page count, see How to get the page count for an Okifax 5300.

  • Press the SELECT FUNCTION button, located toward the top of the operation panel (to the right of the display screen).
  • On the number pad in the upper right area of the operation panel, press the 6 button (also labeled REPORT PRINT).
  • The screen will display "1: ACTIVITY REPORT".  Press the right arrow button (the NO button) on the operation panel three times to scroll through the various reports, until you get to "4: CONFIGURATION".
  • Press the left arrow button (YES) to print the configuration report.  "PRINTING" will appear on the screen, and the configuration page will print out shortly.
  • Press the STOP button (the red button to the left of the START button) twice to exit out of the menu and return to the main screen.

The configuration page doesn't list every setting but it has many of the most common ones, including whether error correction is turned on, whether an image is printed with the confirmation page, the number of redial tries, and what the volume is set to.
