Chapter 2: Changing printer settings
Advanced Status Off
On*
If Advanced Status is set On, bidirectional communication is enabled through the parallel
interface.
Protocol Standard
Fastbytes*
You can select Standard or Fastbytes protocol for the parallel interface. Fastbytes is
compatible with most existing parallel interface implementations. Use Standard only if you
experience parallel interface problems. Refer to the
Technical Reference
for more information
about the parallel interface.
Honor Init Off*
On
The Honor Init setting determines whether the printer honors hardware initialization requests
from the computer. The computer requests initialization by activating the INIT signal on the
parallel interface. Many personal computers activate the INIT signal each time the computer is
turned on and off.
Parallel Mode 1 Off
On*
This setting enables or disables the pull up resistors on the parallel port signals. It is useful for
personal computers that have open collector outputs on the parallel port signals. Set Parallel
Mode 1 On to disable the resistors or Off to enable the resistors.
Refer to the
Technical Reference
for more information about this setting.
Parallel Mode 2 Off
On*
This setting determines if the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or trailing edge of
strobe. If Parallel Mode 2 is set On, the parallel port data is sampled on the leading edge of
strobe. The parallel port data is sampled on the trailing edge of strobe if
Parallel Mode 2
is set
Off.
