The parallel communications menu allows you to set the active parallel port to either internal or external. The internal port is used for printer options installed inside the printer, such as the Ethernet communication port. Use the external selection when connecting a printer cable or external device directly to the parallel port.

The mode selection allows the user to select either compatible or IEEE-1284 mode when using the selected parallel port. Usually, the mode should be set to compatible for computer connection using a parallel cable and to IEEE-1284 when using an Ethernet port option.

This option only appears if you are using a

9850 printer.
