[Local Printer Parallel Port]: Introduction—Messagesand Status Reporting

Nibble mode was added in release level 2111.

(*4) See “About Error Reporting in ECP Mode” [page 142].

Some printers can be programmed to use ECP mode or Com- patible even if their default negotiation mode is something else entirely. Consult the manual for your printer.

You may not always be sure about the printer’s capabilities. Therefore, the settings you can choose for the “Parallel Port IEEE P1284 Negotiation Mode” parameter include fall-backs so that if the first attempt at negotiation fails, the print server will choose an alternative. After choosing a setting and rebooting, “Status” > [Target Printer Information] will show you which mode has successfully been enabled as “Target Communica- tion Protocol”.
