Values

 

 

 

Advanced Status

 

Off

 

 

On*

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Advanced Status is set On, bidirectional communication is enabled through the parallel

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

Protocol

 

Standard

 

 

Fastbytes*

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can select Standard or Fastbytes protocol for the parallel interface. Fastbytes is

 

 

compatible with most existing parallel interface implementations. Use Standard only if you

 

 

experience parallel interface problems. Refer to the Technical Reference for more information

 

 

about the parallel interface.

 

 

 

Honor Init

 

Off*

 

 

On

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Honor Init setting determines whether the printer honors hardware initialization requests

 

 

from the computer. The computer requests initialization by activating the INIT signal on the

 

 

parallel interface. Many personal computers activate the INIT signal each time the computer is

 

 

turned on and off.

 

 

Parallel Mode 1

Off

 

 

On*

 

 

 

 

 

 

This setting enables or disables the pull up resistors on the parallel port signals. It is useful for

 

 

personal computers that have open collector outputs on the parallel port signals. Set Parallel

 

 

Mode 1 On to disable the resistors or Off to enable the resistors.

 

 

Refer to the Technical Reference for more information about this setting.

 

 

Parallel Mode 2

Off

 

 

On*

 

 

 

 

 

 

This setting determines if the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or trailing edge of

 

 

strobe. If Parallel Mode 2 is set On, the parallel port data is sampled on the leading edge of

 

 

strobe. The parallel port data is sampled on the trailing edge of strobe if Parallel Mode 2 is set

 

 

Off.

 

 

Refer to the Technical Reference for more information about this setting.
