Chapter 4 HOST INTERFACE

Timeout
This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port
and check the other selected port types for data to print. When the
printer has not received data from the host after a certain period of
time, it needs to timeout in order to service the other ports.
Report Status
•Disable (default). When a fault occurs on the printer, only the
active port reports the fault to the host.
•Enable. The port will report any fault even when it is not the
current active port.
IEEE 1284 Parallel (Bidirectional) Submenu
The IEEE 1284 interface is faster and more versatile than
Centronics and supports bidirectional communication.
Configuration of this interface is controlled from the host. Refer to
“IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface” on page 298 more details about the
available modes (Compatibility, Nibble, and Byte).
