The following tables explain the relevant options available via the LCD screen in Interfaces Mode.

 

Menu screen

What the options mean

 

 

 

Is the menu selection screen for the Host Interface option of the INTERFACES mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INTERFACES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Host Interface*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are only two options relative to the serial interface, ignore all others.

 

 

 

Auto Switching - the printer automatically switches to the relative interface type and moves

 

 

 

 

Host Interface

 

 

 

 

into the applicable menus.

 

 

 

 

 

Auto Switching*

 

Ethernet - factory default. Allows the operator to select the interface and the relative menus

 

 

 

 

will follow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INTERFACES

 

 

 

 

ETHERNET PORT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is a menu subset of the Ethernet Port option. Will move into the Timeout menu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ETHERNET PORT

 

 

 

 

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 print. When the printer has not received data from the host after a certain

 

 

 

 

Timeout

 

period of time, it must timeout in order to service other ports.

 

10 sec*

 

The factory default of 10 seconds with an allowable range of 1 to 60 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Determines when other ports are active and able to communicate with the printer when the

 

 

 

Ethernet interface is not in use.

 

 

 

Data Timeout - factory default. The other ports (Parallel, Serial, USB) are able to send data

 

 

 

 

to the printer when the timeout setting has been reached. This setting is adjustable via the

 

Switch Out On

 

 

 

Data Timeout*

 

 

display menu item Timeout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Session Close - the other ports (Parallel, Serial, USB) are able to send data to the printer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when the port has been closed. Example: If a RAW port of 9100 is open, the printer will not

 

 

 

 

accept data from another interface until that port is closed by the host.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

INTERFACES

 

 

 

 

ETHERNET SETTING

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
