Chapter 3 Coax/Twinax Emulation
PA2
PA2 is only valid when the printer is in the offline state and the coax SCS data
stream is active. This function displays the “PA2 ENABLED” message when
the ENTER key is pressed and sends a special operator request to the host
when the printer is put back in online mode.
NOTE: Selecting the PA2 menu item again (“PA2 DISABLED” appears on the
operator panel) or selecting the PA1 menu item will reset the pending
PA2 function.
Buffer Reprint
This option is valid only when the printer is printing in SCS mode. When the
ENTER key is pressed, “Buffer Reprint Enabled” is displayed and an
Intervention Required status is sent to the host. Pressing ENTER again
cancels the Buffer Reprint function and “Buffer Reprint Disabled” is displayed.
Device ID
This parameter defines the printer emulation, as follows:
• 4234
• 3287
After the emulation has been changed, a POR status is sent to the host.
SCS Buffer Control
Allows the printer to send a print (order) complete status to the host before the
printer is actually done printing all data. If this parameter is set for Don’t Wait,
the printer may print at a slightly faster rate. However, if a fault occurs, there is
the possibility of data loss. This option is valid only when the printer is in SCS
mode.
• Don’t Wait. The printer notifies the host it is ready for more data as soon
as the input data buffer has been sent to the print engine.
• Wait Until Done. The printer waits until it has completed printing the
buffer before notifying the host it is ready for more data.
Early Print Complete
Allows the printer to send print (order) complete status to the host before the
printer is actually done printing all data. This option is valid only when the
printer is in DSC/DSE mode.
• Disable. The printer will suppress the Early Print Complete response until
all printing is complete.
• Enable. The printer will send an acknowledgment to the host when it is
able to accept more data.
NOTE: When an Early Print Complete is enabled and an error occurs, you
may lose data.
