Setting Parallel Interface Parameters

Use the Administration/Communications/Parallel menu to set the par-
allel interface values used for printer-host communications.

Mode

The parallel interface supports Centronics parallel communication as
well as IEEE 1284 bidirectional parallel communication.

Default

00003 (3 sec.)

Notes

A value of 00000 is the same as infinity (no timeout).

Menu

Administration/Communications/Parallel/Mode

Choices

Interactive—Establish two-way communication
between the host and the printer.

Noninteractive—Establish one-way communication
from the host to the printer.

Disabled—Turn off parallel communication with the
host. The printer stops accepting print jobs over the
parallel interface.

Default

Noninteractive

Notes

The printer must be restarted for changes to the
menu to take effect. You can either let the printer
restart automatically after you save the change and
exit from the Configuration menu, or you can wait for
the change to take effect the next time you manually
turn on the printer. See chapter 5, “Additional
Technical Information,”
for a discussion of the
different modes.
