Configuring the Parallel Interface
You can use the control panel to change the parallel interface to ECP mode
for faster printing. To use this mode, you must connect a computer directly
to the printer’s parallel interface (without a RIP), and the computer must
support ECP mode. See your computer’s documentation for details.
Follow these steps to configure the parallel interface:
1. Press and hold the Pause button while you press the Power button to
turn on the printer. HEX DUMP = PRINT appears on the display.
2. Press the Item button repeatedly until PARA. I/F=COMPAT* appears
on the display. The asterisk (*) indicates that compatible mode (the
default) is selected.
3. Press the + button. PARA. I/F=ECP appears on the display. This sets the
parallel interface to ECP mode.
4. Press the Enter button to save your setting. Then press the Power
button to turn the printer off and exit maintenance mode.
Note
If you experience any
problems using ECP
mode, switch back to
compatible mode. Only
a parallel connection
can be configured to
use ECP mode.
