Serial Menu Options

Figure 3.15 describes each Serial 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.

Description

 

 

 

Port Enable

Off

Activation of the serial port.

 

On*

When On, the serial port is enabled so that the printer

 

 

 

 

can receive print jobs through it.

 

 

The serial 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 serial 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 3-47).

 

 

See Appendix C: I/O Port Polling for more
