Interfaces Help
Parallel Port Settings
The
Parallel Interface implements
IEEE 1284 compatibility,
Reverse Nibble, and
ECP modes.
Nibble and
ECP modes allow reverse, printer-to-host communication with hosts that are
IEEE 1284 compliant.
Parallel Port - Select
On or
Off to enable or disable the parallel port interface.
Parallel Port Timeout - The range of time allowed before the port times out. The default value is
120 seconds. Values can be entered between
1 and
999 seconds.
Page Description Language - Select the language you want the printer to receive on the Parallel port. If you select
Auto Select, the printer automatically senses the language of the print job and processes it accordingly. The possible values are
Auto Select,
PostScript, and
PCL.
Job Pipelining - Pipelining allows the printer to begin processing a new print job while it is still printing the current job, which increases printer throughput so jobs print faster.
-
On - The printer can begin processing a new job on this port while it is still printing a previous job.
-
Off - The printer does not begin a new job on this port until the current job is completed.
Note: This field will not display on printers that do not support
Job Pipelining.
USB Port Settings
The
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface is a bi-directional low to mid-speed serial communications bus that allows plug and play compatibility. It can pass a maximum
64-byte data packet in either direction.
USB Port - Allows you to enable and disable the interface.
USB Port Timeout - The range of time allowed before the port times out. The default value is
120 seconds. Values can be entered between
1 and
999 seconds.
Page Description Language - Select the language you want the printer to receive on the
USB Port. If you select
AutoSelect, the printer automatically detects the language of the print job and processes it accordingly.
Job Pipelining - Pipelining allows the printer to begin processing a new print job while it is still printing the current job, which increases printer throughput so jobs print faster.
-
On - The printer can begin processing a new job on this port while it is still printing a previous job.
-
Off - The printer does not begin a new job on this port until the current job is completed. This is the recommended setting to avoid errors in the job accounting log.
Note: This field will not display on printers that do not support
Job Pipelining.
Ethernet Interface Settings
Speed
-
Ethernet speed is the rate at which data is communicated over a physical network connection.
Full Duplex mode is bi-directional communication and means that both ends of the connection can send and receive data at the same time.
Half Duplex speed is also bi-directional, but can only process data in one direction at a time.
-
Automatic (default setting)
-
100 Mbps (Full Duplex)
-
100 Mbps (Half Duplex)
-
10 Mbps (Full Duplex)
-
10 Mbps (Half Duplex
Actual Speed - This shows the actual speed of current
Ethernetcommunication. Values are
100 Base TX or
10 Base TX.
Machine Address (MAC address) - The printer's factory-assigned hardware
Ethernet (MAC) address.
Connector - The
Ethernet connector type used is called
RJ45.
