B.1.1 Communication Modes

The printer provides high-speed data transmission on a parallel interface. You can select the parallel interface communication mode from the operation panel. To change communication mode, see Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel, section 3.5.1 Changing Parallel Interface Mode on page 3-38 .

Use a parallel interface cable that complies with the IEEE 1284 standard.

Note

You can choose from four communication modes:

•Auto (default)

The printer automatically changes its communication mode to the one that is currently used by the host computer.

•Nibble

Allows high-speed data communications in compliance with the IEEE 1284 standard.

•Normal

The standard communications method for Centronics interfaces.

•High-speed

Enables high-speed data transmission between host computer and printer.
