Parallel Mode 2

Parallel Mode 2 is a feature available for many Lexmark printers. The factory default
setting is

On

.

The timing required by the printer is clearly indicated in “Standard Protocol Data
Transfer Sequence” on page 8-11
. This is the classic Centronics interface timing.

By setting

Parallel Mode 2

to

Off

from the printer operator panel, through MarkVision

Professional, or through a PJL command, the printer changes when data is valid.
Once

Parallel Mode 2

is set to

Off

, the printer takes data from the host computer at the

trailing edge of STROBE. This is the last possible host driven transition where data
should be valid.

Note:

You may find this feature helpful when having data transfer reliability
problems.
