Serial

Page 67 highlights

n Auto Eject Time *3 (refer to P. 83) Sets the time interval for the printer to automatically print the remaining data when no further data is received for a continuous period. The time can be set between 5 to 1275 seconds in increments of 5 seconds. The default is [30 Secs]. When no data is received for the period specified here after the last data was received, the printer determines it as job end. n Bi-directional Specifies whether to enable or disable the bi-directional communication (IEEE1284) of the parallel interface. The default is [Enable]. Serial Select this to use a serial port. Important • When using the serial port, it is necessary to accommodate the port setting of the printer driver to that of the printer. For details, refer to "Appendix A.6 Printing Using the Serial Interface" (P. 147) n Port Status Specifies whether to enable or disable the serial port when the printer turns on. The default is [Enable], which means the serial port is available. n Print Mode*1 (refer to P. 83) Sets the print data process method (printer language to be used). [Auto] (default) Select this to make the printer automatically detect the printer language being used in the data received from the computer and perform printing based on the detected data. [PCL] [PS] [ESC/P] [HP-GL/2] [TIFF] Select this to process the data received from the computer as the specified data type. n PJL*2 (refer to P. 83) This printer supports PJL commands that are independent from any printer languages. The PJL commands are used to control print jobs and are required for printing using a printer driver. In this menu, specify whether to enable or disable the PJL commands sent from a computer. PJL commands allow you to specify the printer language to be used for the next data even while the printer is using a different printer language at the time. Normally, it should be set to [Enable]. The default is [Enable]. n Adobe Protocol Specifies the communications protocol for PostScript. [Normal] (default) Select this when the communications protocol is ASCII format. [Binary] Select this when the communications protocol is in binary format. Selecting this may cause the printing process to be faster than [Normal] depending on the printing data. [TBCP] Select this when you have to switch between ASCII and binary formats by using specific control codes because they are both used as the communications protocol. Note • Select an option according to the data format output from the printer driver in the computer. • Generally, accept the default setting, [Normal]. • This setting is only available when PostScript is used for printing. 4.2 Description of Menu Items 63
