Honor Init
Purpose:
To determine 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.
Values:
Off* | Printer does not honor hardware initialization requests from the computer. |
On | Printer honors hardware initialization requests from the computer. |
Job Buffering
Purpose:
To temporarily store jobs on the printer hard disk before printing.
Values:
Off* | Does not buffer print jobs to the hard disk. |
On | Buffers print jobs to the hard disk. |
Auto | Buffers print jobs only if the printer is busy processing data from another input port. |
Note: Changing the Job Buffering menu item automatically resets the printer.
NPA Mode
Purpose:
To specify whether the printer performs the special processing required for bidirectional communication, following the conventions defined in the Network Printing Alliance (NPA) Protocol.
Values:
On | Printer performs NPA processing. If data is not in NPA format, it is rejected as bad data. |
Off | Printer does not perform NPA processing. |
Auto* | Printer examines data and determines the format and then processes it appropriately. |
Note: Changing this menu item automatically resets the printer.
