Parallel Port Setup

Enable Parallel Port

Yes/No [No]

Select Yes if you want to print through the parallel port. You can connect a single

Windows computer to the parallel port and print directly to the Fiery.

Port Timeout in Seconds 5–60 [5]

This option appears only if Enable Parallel Port is set to Yes. Your setting determines how long (in seconds) the Fiery waits without receiving data from the parallel port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the Fiery cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to receive network print jobs.

Ignore EOF Character

Yes/No [Yes]

This option appears only if Enable Parallel Port is set to Yes. This option specifies that the Fiery should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages in a file. This option must be set to Yes to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal circumstances, it should be set to No. When this option is set to Yes, the Fiery uses the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file has been reached. If you experience printing problems, set this option to No.
