HP QMS 1660 manual 67

Interfaces

Notes	This value must be less than K Mem For Spool.
	A 00000 value does not turn off the spooling buffer for the
	parallel interface. If the value is set to 00000, the printer
	calculates the Min K Spool automatically at initialization.
	The printer must be restarted for changes to the Min K Spool
	menu to take effect. You can either let the printer restart
	automatically after you save the change and exit from the
	configuration menu, or you can wait for the change to take
	effect the next time you manually turn on the printer.

Mode

The parallel interface supportsCentronics parallel communication as well as IEEE 1284 bidirectional (two-way) parallel communication, which provides five modes of operation: byte, compatibility, ECP (enhanced compatibility port), EPP (enhanced parallel port), and nibble. See chapter 5, “Additional Technical Information,” for a discussion of the different modes.

Menu	Administration/Communications/Parallel/Mode
Choices	Interactive—Establish bidirectional (IEEE 1284) parallel
	communication between the host and the printer.
	Noninteractive—Establish one-way (Centronics) parallel
	communication from the host to the printer.
	Disabled—Turn off parallel communication with the host. The
	printer stops accepting print jobs over the parallel interface.
Default	Noninteractive
Notes	The printer must be restarted for changes to the menu to take
	effect. You can either let the printer restart automatically after
	you save the change and exit from the configuration menu, or
	you can wait for the change to take effect the next time you
	manually turn on the printer.
