Framing Errors
Possible errors that can occur when the printer’s serial interface settings do
not match those of the host computer.
• Enable (default). If a framing error occurs, a fault message will display on
the control panel.
• Disable . If a framing error occurs, a fault message will not display on the
control panel.
IEEE 1284 Parallel (Bidirectional) Submenu
The IEEE 1284 interface is faster and more versatile than Centronics and
supports bidirectional communication. Configuration of this interface is
controlled from the host. Refer to “IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface” on page 164
more details about the available modes (Compatibility, Nibble, and Byte).
Prime Signal
• Enable (default). The parallel port will perform a warm start (reboot) if the
host asserts the prime signal.
• Disable . The parallel port will not 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.
