parallel interface mode can be activated from the KM-NET for Clients

utility contained on the Kyocera Mita Software Library CD-ROM supplied

with the printer as follows:

Use a parallel printer cable that complies with the IEEE1284 standard.

Auto [default]

The printer automatically changes its communication mode to the one the host computer is currently using. Ordinarily, you should leave this setting unchanged.

Nibble (high)

High speed data communication is used in compliance with the IEEE 1284 standard.

Normal

The printer uses the standard communication method prescribed for

Centronics interfaces.

High-speed

This mode enables faster data transmission between the printer and the host computer. (Select this mode if printing problems occur when the printer is connected to a workstation.)

B.1.2 Interface Signals

The pins of the parallel interface connector carry the signals listed in Table B-1. Asterisks in the table indicate signals that are active low. The table also indicates whether each signal is incoming or outgoing with respect to the printer.
