Values

Explanation

 

 

 

PARALLEL HIGH

YES

Select the speed at which data is transmitted

SPEED=YES

NO

to the printer.

 

 

YES: The printer accepts faster parallel

 

 

communications used for connections with

 

 

newer computers.

 

 

NO: The printer accepts slower parallel

 

 

communications used for connections with

 

 

older computers.

 

 

 

PARALLEL ADV

ON

Turn the bidirectional parallel communication

FUNCTIONS=ON

OFF

on or off. The default is set for a bidirectional

 

 

parallel port (IEEE-1284).

 

 

This setting allows the printer to send status

 

 

readback messages to the computer. (Turning

 

 

the parallel advanced functions on might slow

 

 

language switching.)

 

 

 

SERIAL PACING=

DTR/DSR

Select the type of pacing used. Pacing, or

DTR/DSR

XON/XOFF

“handshaking” allows the printer to tell the

 

 

computer when to send information. The

 

 

printer uses XON/XOFF and DTR/DSR signal

 

 

protocols rather than ETX/ACK protocol.

 

 

DTR/DSR: Select this value if your computer

 

 

requires hardware flow control (most personal

 

 

computers do).

 

 

XON/XOFF: Select this value if your computer

 

 

requires software flow control (a UNIX

 

 

workstation, for example). The SERIAL

 

 

ROBUST XON item appears (see below).

 

 

 

SERIAL ROBUST

ON

This item appears only when SERIAL

XON=ON

OFF

PACING=XON/XOFF. Select the method for

 

 

generating XONs.

 

 

ON: The printer sends an XON when the printer

 

 

is online and when sufficient buffer space is

 

 

available. If the host does not receive data

 

 

within approximately one second, the printer

 

 

will transmit additional XONs at one second

 

 

intervals until the host receives data.

 

 

OFF: The printer sends one XON when it can

 

 

accept more data or when it is online. The

 

 

printer does not send XONs every second

 

 

while the printer is online and ready for more

 

 

data.
