Table B-16 Parallel Menu Items

Item	Options	Explanation

HIGH SPEED		The speed at which data is transmitted to the printer.
		If the default value (YES) results in I/O errors or no
		communications, set this value to NO.
	YES*	Sets the parallel interface to run at a higher data rate
	NO	Sets the parallel interface to run at a slower speed.

ADV FNCTNS	ON*	ADV FNCTNS=ON enables bi-directional parallel
	OFF	communication, which allows your printer to send
		status readback messages to your computer. Setting
		advance functions to ON may slow personality
		switching.

Item	Options	Explanation

PACING	DTR/DSR*,	If the computer requires hardware flow
		control.
	XON/XOFF	If the computer requires software flow
		control.

BAUD RATE	9600*	Tells the printer how fast information will
	300 to 57600	be transferred from the computer to the
		printer.

ROBUST XON	ON*	Appears only when PACING is set to
		XON/XOFF. If it is set to ON, the printer
		sends an XON every one second until
		data is received when the printer is on
		line and when sufficient buffer space has
		become available.
	OFF	If it is set to OFF, the printer sends one
		XON when it can accept more data or
		when it is on line.

DTR POLARITY	HI*	Determines whether pin 8 goes high or
	LO	low to indicate the printer is ready to
		receive data.
