Parallel Menu Options

The Parallel Menu, a submenu of the Interface Menu, Figure 3.13 (page 3-38), contains options for configuring the printer’s bidirectional parallel port.

Figure 3.14 describes each Parallel Menu option. Factory settings are boldfaced and followed by an asterisk (*). See “Setting a Menu Option” (page 3-10)for the steps to find and change a setting, or refer to the Document Services for Printing Guide to use the RUI to change settings.

Option	Setting	Description
Port Enable	Off	Activation of the parallel port.
	On*	When On, the parallel port is enabled so that the
		printer can receive print jobs through it.
		The parallel port becomes part of a port polling
		sequence that includes all enabled ports. See
		Appendix C: I/O Port Polling for information.
		When Off, the port is disabled so no communication
		occurs through this port with the host. If you are not
		using the parallel port, you can set Port Enable Off.
Port Timeout	5-999 secs (30*)	Time interval for determining when to end an
		incomplete print job and poll the next port in the
		polling sequence.
		Port Timeout works in conjunction with Auto Job
		End (page 3-43).

		information.
