Interface Settings; Hexadecimal Dump Mode; Enable Parallel Port; Parallel Port Emulation Switching - Sharp Laser Printer Operation Manual

DESCRIPTION OF SETTING PROGRAMS

Interface settings

These programs are used to control data transmitted to
the parallel port, USB port or network port of this
printer.

Hexadecimal dump mode

This program is used to output the print data from a
computer in the hexadecimal dump format with
corresponding characters (ASCII). This program is
used to check proper transmission of print data from
the computer to the printer.
Output example of hexadecimal dump mode

I/O timeout

This program is used to set the length of time to wait for
an I/O to complete a job on the parallel port or the
network port. If the data stream to the port does not
transmit data for a length of time exceeding the
timeout, the job will cancel and the next job will start
processing.
The I/O timeout setting is used to set the amount of time
after which an I/O timeout will occur when waiting for
print data.
Default setting: 20 seconds
NOTE
The allowable range of the time is 1 to 999 seconds.

Enable parallel port

This program is used to enable or disable printing from
the parallel port.
Default setting: Enable

Parallel port emulation switching

This program is used to specify a printer language to
emulate when the printer is connected to a computer
through the parallel port.
Setting items Description
Auto The printer language will switch
automatically in accordance with the
data from the computer.
PostScript PostScript emulation is used to print
the data from the computer. (An
optional
needed.)
PCL PCL emulation is used to print the
data from the computer.
NOTE
It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

Enable USB port

This program is used to enable or disable printing from
the USB port.
Default setting: Enable

USB port emulation switching

If the machine is connected using the USB port, select
the emulated printer language.
The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel
port emulation switching".
NOTE
It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.

Enable network port

This program is used to enable or disable printing from
the network port.
Default setting: Enable

Network port emulation switching

This program is used to specify a printer language to
emulate when the printer is connected to a computer
through the network port.
The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel
port emulation switching".
NOTE
It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.
