Using printer menus
Serial and Serial <x>
Use these menu items to change printer settings affecting jobs sent to the printer through an optional serial port.
Honor Init Determines whether the printer
honors hardware initialization
requests from the computer. The
computer requests initialization by
activating the INIT signal on the
parallel interface. Many personal
computers activate the INIT signal
each time the computer is turned on
and off. *Off Printer does not honor hardware
initialization requests from the
computer.
On Printer honors hardware initialization
requests from the computer.
Parallel Mode 2 Determines whether the parallel
port data is sampled on the leading
or trailing edge of strobe. *On Samples parallel port data on the
leading edge of strobe.
Off Samples parallel port data on the
trailing edge of strobe.
Mac Binary PS Configures the printer to process
Macintosh binary PostScript print
jobs. On Printer processes raw binary
PostScript print jobs from computers
using the Macintosh operating system.
Note: This setting often causes
Windows print jobs to fail.
Off Printer filters PostScript print jobs
using standard protocol.
*Auto Printer processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
