4-7 Network Setup
Ethernet (Port Setup)
Enable Ethernet—Select if the GA-1040 is to be connected to an Ethernet network.
Transmission Speed—This option is set to Auto Detect, which will detect the speed of
your network automatically.
Parallel Port (Port Setup)
Enable Parallel Port—Select if you want to print through the parallel port. You can
connect a single Windows computer to the parallel port and print directly to the
GA-1040.
NOTE: Enabling the parallel port does not conflict with using Ethernet communication
with the GA-1040.
Ignore EOF Character—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this option
specifies that the GA-1040 should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages. Check this box
to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal circumstances, the
box should not be checked. When this option is selected, the GA-1040 uses the
parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file has been reached.
Parallel Port Timeout (seconds)—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this
setting determines how long the GA-1040 waits without receiving data from the
parallel port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the
GA-1040 cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to
receive network print jobs.
