44-7 Network Setup

Ethernet (Port Setup)

Enable Ethernet—Select if the GA-1040 is to be connected to an Ethernet network.

Transmission Speed—This option is set to Auto Detect, which will detect the speed of your network automatically.

Parallel Port (Port Setup)

Enable Parallel Port—Select if you want to print through the parallel port. You can connect a single Windows computer to the parallel port and print directly to the GA-1040.

NOTE: Enabling the parallel port does not conflict with using Ethernet communication with the GA-1040.

Ignore EOF Character—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this option specifies that the GA-1040 should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages. Check this box to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal circumstances, the box should not be checked. When this option is selected, the GA-1040 uses the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file has been reached.

Parallel Port Timeout (seconds)—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this setting 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.
