Configuring the Parallel Interface
Note
If you experience any problems using ECP mode, switch back to compatible mode. For USB connection, use compatible mode.
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 more information.
Follow these steps to configure the parallel interface:
1.Press the SelecType button. PRINTER SETTING MENU appears on the display.
2.Press the Item button repeatedly until PARA. I/F=COMPAT* appears on the display. This 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.
5.Press the SelecType button to exit the Printer Setting menu.
