Interfaces

Minimum Number of Kilobytes for Spooling

Sets the minimum number of kilobytes of system memory allocated to the parallel interface.

Menu	Administration/Communications/Parallel/Min K Spool
Choices	00000-99999
Default	00015
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 supports Centronics 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 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
