Working with single communication port
Printer can only work according to the interface mode and emulation selected
by menu configuration, even if the printer has been equipped with more
interface boards.
Working with dual-port
If the printer has been equipped with option interface board, the operator can set
up printer working mode to be dual-port mode through the operator panel to meet
different usage requirements.
If the printer has been installed second serial port board and USB interface board,
there are only two serial ports( first serial port and second serial port) can work
synchronously. Under this configuration, printer can check which port is active.
Any one of these two ports, if its data has been received, printer will be under the
control of this port, and be kept in this state till this port task is end. Two ports are
independent. And two ports have the same configuration except emulation mode.
Emulation mode can be shifted by commands.
If printer has been installed with second parallel interface board and configured as
dual-port activity, it will check which port buffer has data. If any one of these two
ports detect data has been received, printer will be under the control of the port
and it will be kept in this state till port task is end. Dual-port functionality and
corresponding parameters can be selected though operator panel. Under the
especial circumstance, each port can have its own emulation mode, and using
commands can shift emulation mode.
If printer hardware configuration has two interface and the setup item interface in
the menu is UAL then it can print out two interface corresponding emulation
configuration in self-test sheet. Printer can set which port to be active and
emulation mode according to host communication port
