Toshiba GA-1040 manual Protocol Setup Time Out 300, Ignore EOF Yes/No Yes

22-11 Protocol Setup

Time Out

1-300 [30]

This option determines how long the GA-1040 waits without receiving data from the parallel port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the GA-1040 cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to receive network print jobs.

Ignore EOF

Yes/No [Yes]

This option specifies that the GA-1040 should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages in a file. This option must be set to Yes to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal circumstances, it should be set to No. When this option is set to Yes, the GA-1040 uses the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file has been reached.

Protocol Setup

In Protocol Setup you specify network addresses and names to be used by workstations, servers, and the GA-1040 when they communicate with each other. To configure the GA-1040, choose each protocol and enter the settings for that protocol. You can enable AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX communication simultaneously.

Before you begin, confirm that the network cable is connected to the GA-1040. During Network Setup, the GA-1040 queries the network for zones, servers, and server-based queues. If you perform Port Setup or Protocol Setup without a connected and functioning network, default settings are used that may not meet your needs.

If the GA-1040 is configured to enable more than one protocol, it automatically switches to the correct protocol when it receives a print job. When the parallel port and network port are enabled, print jobs can be received over both ports at the same time.
