HOST INTERFACE Menu

Resp. Polarity

The Response Polarity parameter must be set to match the response polarity
of your host computer.

Standard

(default). Does not invert the response signal.

Inverted

. Inverts the response signal sent to the host computer.

Latch Data On

Specifies whether the data is read on the leading, middle, or trailing edge of
the data strobe signal. The default is Middle.

Prime Signal

Disable

(default). The parallel port will not perform a warm start (reboot) if

the host asserts the prime signal.

Enable

. The parallel port will perform a warm start (reboot) if the host

asserts the prime signal.

TOF Action

Reset

(default). A form feed is performed before a warm start when the

prime signal is asserted from the host. This setting is used only if the
prime signal parameter is enabled.

Do Nothing

. Nothing occurs before a warm start when the prime signal is

asserted from the host.

Buffer Size in K

Configures the amount of memory allocated for the Dataproducts parallel port
buffer. You can specify between 1 and 16 Kbytes, in 1-Kbyte increments.

The default is 16K.

NOTE:

OpenPrint HD products have a range of 1 to 256 and a default of 64K.

Auto Trickle

Auto Trickle is used to prevent a host computer from timing out because the
parallel interface was busy for too long. When Auto Trickle is enabled and the
printer's buffers are almost full, the printer will begin to trickle data in (at the
rate set in the Trickle Time menu) until the buffers start to empty out.
