Parallel/Lan Interface Items - Printek PrintMaster 862 Operator's Manual

P R I N T E R C O N F I G U R A T I O N
Enables or disables the transmission of the XON and XOFF characters from the printer to the host to
control data flow to the printer. XOFF will be sent whenever the printer goes offline or the serial buffer is
full. XON will be sent when the printer is again ready to receive characters.
ETX/ACK Handshaking
Off*, On
Possible Values:
Enables or disables the ACK response to receipt of the ETX character. This handshake method is useful
for conditions where there are long transmission line delays such as telephone lines, which may be routed
through satellites. An ACK character will be returned to the host computer after an ETX character is
received and processed. ETX characters used for handshaking cannot be part of an escape sequence.
RTS/CTS Handshaking
Power On/Off*
Possible Values:
If your Host system requires or supports hardware handshaking for data flow control, it may be useful to
change this parameter to ON. This may apply especially to older Host systems using Full-duplex
communications.

Parallel/LAN Interface Items

Since the optional LAN interface goes into the Parallel port, these interface parameters are the same.
INTERFACE MENU
Parallel/LAN
Emulation
Epson*, IBM Proprinter, DEC LA120/LA210, TTY,
Possible Values:
Printek, ANSI X3.64, Genicom 3840, Genicom 3410
This item selects the emulation to be used whenever the parallel port is active. The emulation should be set
to match the type of printer your software supports.
LAN Setup
On, Off*
Possible Values:
This item enables or disables the ability to control the optional Ethernet interface card from the front panel.
When set to On, the Serial Interface is not available, and menu items for the Ethernet card follow. Consult
your Network Administrator before changing any of these items.
Note: Setting this item to On when the optional Ethernet interface card is not present may result in the
printer appearing to "hang" when exiting the Setup Menus. After 15 seconds, a LAN Timeout error will
be displayed. Press ONLINE, then enter the Setup Menus and correct the problem.
