Printronix P5000LJ user manual Bi-Tronics Submenu, Prime Signal, Host Interface Menu

Chapter 4 Host Interface Menu

Note	The printer will not work online unless the type of interface selected from
	the HOST INTERFACE menu matches the type of interface in your host
	computer. The interface in your host computer is the one that connects to
	the data cable of the printer. For example, if the interface in your computer
	is a serial interface, then the serial interface must be selected from the
	HOST INTERFACE menu in the printer.
	The currently selected interface is indicated with an asterisk on the control
	panel message display. Each interface has its own submenu with the set of
	associated interface parameters that you may configure. The host interface
	and its associated parameters control the interface between the printer and
	your host computer. Descriptions follow for each of the host interface
	submenus.
	Bi-Tronics Submenu

Note	The Bi-Tronics parameters in the printer must be set the same as the
	interface in the host computer (at the other end of the data cable of the
	printer). Otherwise, the printer might not work online, and data characters
	from the computer might not print or might print as “garbled” text.
