MENU

 

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

Is a transitional screen that allows entry into the Net BIOS Protocol menu.

ETHERNET SETTING

NetBIOS Protocol

 

 

Allows determination of if the NIC will recognize the NetBIOS protocol.

 

 

Enable - factory default. Will recognize.

 

NetBIOS Protocol

 

Enable*

Disable - will not recognize.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This options allows for the port number to be set for ASCII print jobs. The data port number must

 

 

match the host computer setting.

 

 

 

ASCII Data Port

 

The allowable range is 0 to 65535, and the factory default is 9100.

 

1024*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Determines the amount of time that the tcp connection will remain connected after the print job

 

 

has terminated.

 

 

 

Keep Alive Timer

 

The allowable range is 2 to 10 minutes, and the factory default is 3 minutes.

 

3 minutes*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This menu appears only if a 10/100Base-t Network Interface Card (NIC) is installed. There are

 

 

five different speed modes to allow compatibility with different systmes and networks.

 

 

Auto Select - factory default. Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to perform an automatic detection

 

 

 

scheme and configure itself to be one of the other allowable options.

 

Ethernet Speed

 

 

10 Half Duplex - communicates at 10 megabytes per second using half duplex.

 

Auto Select*

 

 

10 Full Duplex - communicates at 10 megabytes per second using full duplex.

 

 

 

 

100 Half Duplex - communicates at 100 megabytes per second using half duplex.

 

 

100 Full Duplex - communicates at 100 megabytes per second using full duplex.

 

 

Determines how the printer and/or NIC card respond when a job has been completed. The

 

 

definition of a complete job is also determined by this setting.

 

 

Standard - factory default. The NIC card responds to the host that the job is complete when

 

 

 

the entire print job has been accepted by the printer.

 

Job Control

 

 

Standard*

Enhanced - the NIC card responds to the host that the job is complete when the entire job

 

 

 

has not only been accepted by the printer, but also completely printed.

Off - without synchronization between the NIC and the printer. The NIC card is simply a pass-trough and the printer tells the host when the job is complete.

 

 

 

Determines whether the printer processes incoming data when it is in an offline state.

 

 

 

Disable - factory default. The printer does not process data while offline.

 

Offline Process

 

Disable*

 

Enable - continues to process (but not print) the current network/parallel job while the printer

 

 

 

is offline until in a buffer-near-full state.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is the menu selection screen for the Ethernet Address option of the INTERFACES mode. Its

 

 

 

menu options are explained in the following five menu screen descriptions.

 

 

 

 

ETHERNET ADDRESS

 

 

 

 

IP Address

 

 

 

Subnet Mask

 

 

 

Gateway Address

 

 

 

MAC Address

 

 

 

DHCP
