Menu item Description
Parallel Buffer
Disabled
Auto
3k to <maximum 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 1k 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, serial, and network buffers.
• Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.
Job Buffering
Off
On
Auto
Temporarily stores jobs on the printer hard disk before printing
Notes:
• Off is the factory default setting.
• The Off setting does not buffer print jobs to the printer hard disk.
• The On setting buffers jobs on the printer hard disk.
• The Auto setting buffers print jobs only if the printer is busy processing data
from another input port.
• Changing this setting from the printer control panel and then exiting the
menus causes the printer to restart. The menu selection is updated.
Advanced Status
On
Off
Enables bidirectional communication through the parallel port
Notes:
• On is the factory default setting.
• The Off setting disables parallel port negotiation.
Parallel 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 or not 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.
