experience parallel interface problems. Refer to the Technical Reference for more information
about the parallel interface.

The Honor Init setting determines whether the printer honors hardware initialization requests
from the computer. The computer requests initialization by activating the INIT signal on the
parallel interface. Many personal computers activate the INIT signal each time the computer is
turned on and off.

This setting enables or disables the pull up resistors on the parallel port signals. It is useful for
personal computers that have open collector outputs on the parallel port signals. Set Parallel
Mode 1 On to disable the resistors or Off to enable the resistors.
Refer to the Technical Reference for more information about this setting.
Off
On*
This setting determines if the parallel port data is sampled on the leading or trailing edge of
strobe. If Parallel Mode 2 is set On, the parallel port data is sampled on the leading edge of
strobe. The parallel port data is sampled on the trailing edge of strobe if Parallel Mode 2 is set
Off.
Refer to the Technical Reference for more information about this setting.
