Using printer menus
Advanced Status
Enables bidirectional
communication through the
parallel port.
Off
Disables parallel port negotiation.
On*
Enables bidirectional communication
through the parallel interface.
Protocol
Specifies the parallel interface
protocol.
Standard
May resolve some parallel interface
problems.
Fastbytes*
Provides compatibility with most
existing parallel interface
implementations (recommended
setting).
Honor Init
Determines whether the
printer honors hardware
initialization requests from the
computer. The computer
requests initialization by
activating the INIT signal on
the parallel interface. Many
personal computers activate
the INIT signal each time the
computer is turned on and off.
Off*
Printer does not honor hardware
initialization requests from the
computer.
On
Printer honors hardware initialization
requests from the computer.
Parallel Mode 2
Determines whether the
parallel port data is sampled
on the leading or trailing edge
of strobe.
On*
Samples parallel port data on the
leading edge of strobe.
Off
Samples parallel port data on the
trailing edge of strobe.
Mac Binary PS
Configures the printer to
process Macintosh binary
PostScript print jobs.
On
Printer processes raw binary PostScript
print jobs from computers using the
Macintosh operating system.
Note:
This setting often causes
Windows print jobs to fail.
Off
Printer filters PostScript print jobs using
standard protocol.
Auto*
Printer processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
