Setup from the Printer Panel and WebSetup
Enable Parallel Port—Enable this option if you want to print through the
parallel port. You can connect a single Windows computer to the parallel
port and print directly to the printer.
NOTE:
•Enabling the parallel port does not conflict with Ethernet or Token Ring
communication with the printer.
Ignore EOF Character—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is enabled,
this option specifies that the printer should ignore end-of-file (EOF)
messages.
Enabling this option is required to print PostScript files in binary format (not
ASCII); under normal circumstances, this option should not be enabled.
When this option is enabled, the printer uses the parallel port timeout value
to determine when the end of the file has been reached.
Parallel Port Timeout (seconds)—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is
enabled, this option’s setting determines how long the printer waits without
receiving data from the parallel port before deciding that the current job is
complete. Until the timeout, the printer cannot receive new jobs through the
parallel port, but it can continue to receive network print jobs.
Enable Token Ring—Enable this option if the printer is to be connected to
a Token Ring network.
Maximum Frame Size—Select the maximum frame size recommended by
the network administrator at your site. If you are uncertain of the setting to
use, select the default value (4202 bytes).
Enable Source Routing—Enable this option if your network supports
source routing.
Request All Routes—This option is active only if you enabled Source
Routing. Enable this option if you want the Request packet to travel to its
destination by all routes.
Respond All Routes—This option is active only if you did not enable the
previous option (Request All Routes). Enable this option if you want the
Response packet to return by all routes to the originating computer.
