Advanced Status Off
On*
If Advanced Status is set to On, bidirectional communication is enabled through the parallel
interface.
Protocol Standard
Fastbytes*
Yo u c a n s e l ec t 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*
The Parallel Mode 1 setting controls 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 to On to disable the resistors or to Off to enable the resistors.
Note: This menu item is not available on the Optra M412.
Parallel Mode 2 Off
On*
The Parallel Mode 2 setting determines if the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or
trailing edge of strobe.
If
Parallel Mode 2 is set to On, the parallel port data is sampled on the leading edge of strobe.
If
Parallel Mode 2 is set to Off, the parallel port data is sampled on the trailing edge of strobe.
