Testing

This feature provides a simple way to simulate different types of input with a set of sample files located on the server.  A list of files is presented, as well as a list of configured inputs and the target devices for each.  Select a file and an input source, and the server will simulate sending the file to that input.

Directory Sources are tested by copying the selected file to that directory on the CirrusPrint server. The server should immediately pick up the file and send it to the target devices shown.

TCP/IP Port Sources are tested by printing the selected file to the port configured on the server. This simulates a raw network print port, and sends the input on to the target devices, possibly after a format conversion. Target devices that are printers should have supported print formats configured so that CirrusPrint can ensure that valid print jobs arrive there.

Email Sources are tested by sending the selected file as an attachment to the email address configured for the input source. If there are no targets defined for that source, you must also select a target device from the list enabled on the input source toolbar. The email will contain the subject authorization tag, and specify the chosen target via the name portion of a To address ("name" [address]). The server will use its site level notification configuration, so if your email source record includes 'Allow From' authentication, be sure to include this sending address.
