The parallel communications menu allows you to set the active
parallel port to either internal or external. The internal port is
used for printer options installed inside the printer, such as the
Ethernet communication port. Use the external selection when
connecting a printer cable or external device directly to the
parallel port.
The mode selection allows the user to select either compatible or
IEEE-1284 mode when using the selected parallel port. Usually,
the mode should be set to compatible for computer connection
using a parallel cable and to IEEE-1284 when using an Ethernet
port option.
This option only appears if you are using a
9850 printer.
The parallel communication values are listed in the table below.
