3.Bidirectional. Some printers will not operate properly if bidirectional communications is enabled on the print server. To disable bidirectional, use the console command SET PORT P1 BID DISABLED, or disable it from the WebXAdmin
4.Some printers, like most Okidata laser printers, cannot operate fast enough even in 1284 mode to keep up with a TROY XCD print server. On the Pony Print Server Plus you can enable a software handshake to handle such printers via the SET PORT P1 SWIO ENABLE console command.
The print server console and WebXAdmin are discussed in Chapter 3, with additional information on console commands in Appendix B. If you are using WebXAdmin, click on Configure Port in the main menu, select the desired port, and then select the desired function. After you have made your selections, click on Submit to enable them in the print server.
Step 6 Changing the Print Server Reset (Recommended)
The printer reset is a sequence of characters that is sent to the printer after the job is completed. It ensures that the last page of the job is ejected from the printer and that the printer is reset to its default state so that the next job will properly print.
The default printer reset for TROY XCD external print servers is a null, except on the TCP/IP text service, which has <Formfeed> as the default (see chapter 4 and Appendix B for information on the TCP/IP text service). A null reset means that some print jobs may not be ejected upon
