Description
NPA Mode
Off
Auto
Sets the printer to perform the special processing required for bidirectional
communication following the conventions defined by the NPA protocol
Notes:
•
Auto is the factory default setting.
•
Changing this setting automatically resets the printer.
Parallel Buffer
Disabled
Auto
3K to <max size allowed>
Sets the size of the parallel input buffer
Notes:
•
Auto is the factory default setting.
•
The Disabled setting turns off job buffering. Any jobs already buffered on the
disk are printed before normal processing is resumed.
•
The parallel buffer size setting can be changed in 1-K increments.
•
The maximum size allowed depends on the amount of memory in the printer,
the size of the other link buffers, and whether Resource Save is set to On or Off.
•
To increase the maximum size range for the Parallel Buffer, disable or reduce
the size of the USB and network buffers.
•
Changing this setting automatically resets the printer.
Advanced Status
Off
On
Enables bidirectional communication through the parallel port
Notes:
•
On is the factory default setting.
•
The Off setting disables parallel port negotiation.
Protocol
Standard
Fastbytes
Specifies the parallel port protocol
Notes:
•
Fastbytes is the factory default setting. It provides compatibility with most
existing parallel ports and is the recommended setting.
•
The Standard setting tries to resolve parallel port communication problems.
Honor Init
On
Off
Determines whether the printer honors printer hardware initialization requests from
the computer
Notes:
•
Off is the factory default setting.
•
The computer requests initialization by activating the Init signal from the
parallel port. Many personal computers activate the Init signal each time the
computer is turned on.
Parallel Mode 2
On
Off
Determines whether the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or trailing edge
of strobe
Note:
On is the factory default setting.
