Appendix C Host Computer Interface
Parallel Interface
Parallel interface communication modes
The printer features the fast data transmission on the parallel interface. The parallel interface mode can be activated from the printer’s control panel (see Chapter 2) as follows:
Note______________________________________________________________________
Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standards.
Nibble (high) [default]
High speed data communication is used in compliance with the IEEE 1284 standard. Ordinarily, you should leave this setting unchanged.
Auto
The printer automatically changes its communication mode to the one the host computer is currently using.
Normal
The printer uses the communication method described by to the normal definitions of the Centronics interface.
This mode enables faster data transmission between the printer and the host computer.
