When the LED is *blinking, the printer examines incoming data and decides whether it is receiving NPA packets.

4.Perform a brief button press to select the Parallel NPA setting.

5.Perform a long button press. All LEDs blink once, indicating the setting is saved.

6.Exit the configuration mode by turning the printer power off.

Parallel Protocol

The printer supports two parallel protocol settings: standard and fastbytes. When the protocol is set to standard, information is received at a normal transmission rate. When the protocol is set to fastbytes, information can be received at a much faster transmission rate provided the host computer supports the fastbytes mode.

Perform the following steps to change the Parallel Protocol setting:

1.Enter the configuration mode.

2.Perform a double click button press twice. This moves to the Parallel Protocol item on the configuration menu. The Parallel Protocol (Load Paper) LED comes on solid.

3.The current Parallel Protocol setting is indicated by the Off/On/ Auto (Press Button) LED. When the LED is off, the Parallel Protocol is set to standard. When the LED is *on, the Parallel Protocol is set to fastbytes. Perform a brief button press to select the Parallel Protocol setting.

4.Perform a long button press. All LEDs blink once, indicating the setting is saved.

5.Exit the configuration mode by turning the printer power off.

PPDS

To access the PPDS data stream, the PPDS setting must be set to active. When PPDS is activated, the default Printer Language is changed to PPDS and the default PCL and PostScript Smartswitch settings are changed to Off.

Perform the following steps to change the PPDS setting:

1.Enter the configuration mode.
