Unit 4: Printer Configuration MENU Comm. Protocol Status 5* INTERFACES Host Interface UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) INTERFACE MODE (TABLE 4-7) DESCRIPTION Communication Protocol. Selects the mode of Bi-Directional communications. In most cases this menu does not need to be altered and is meant to help support legacy applications which may have incorporated older bi-directional statuses. Anything other than Staus 5 or Standard (none) is not recommended. • Status 5 - factory default. Most advanced of the options. This status is the most recent and represented in the interface specifications. For more information, refer to the appropriate section in the programming and interface guide. • Standard - bi-directional interface is not used. • Status 2 - legacy bi-directional support.

Host Interface USB* USB Port Buffer Size in K Is the main menu screen for the Host Interface option of the INTERFACES mode. There are only two options relative to the serial interface, ignore all others. • Auto Switching - the printer automatically switches to the relative interface type and moves into the applicable menus. • USB - factory default. Allows the operator to select the interface and the relative menus will follow. Is a transitional screen that will allow the buffer size to be established in the following screen. Buffer Size in K 1 to 16KB* Timeout 10 sec* This menu configures the amount of memory allocated for the serial port buffer. The range is 1 to 16 Kbytes in 1 kbyte increments. Note: If a baud rate 19200 or greater is selected, the Buffer Size in K parameter may need to be increased from the default to 16 Kbytes to improve performance. The factory default is 16. This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check the other selected Port Types for data print. When the printer has not received data from the host after a certain period of time, it must timeout in order to service other ports. The factory default of 10 seconds with an allowable range of 1 to 60 seconds. MENU INTERFACES LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) INTERFACE MODE (TABLE 4-8) DESCRIPTION Permits entry into the INTERFACES Mode.
