HP 5000 Parallel High YES, Speed=Yes, Parallel ADV, Functions=On Off, Serial PACING= DTR/DSR

I/O Menu (Continued)

Item	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.
