Software Control

Control Options for the IEEE 1284 interface are limited to control of the
nFAULT signal.
This menu and its sub-menus are used to set up the printer's interface
options. The top-level options available are Multisource, Parallel Setup,
Serial, Expansion 1 and Expansion 2. The complete menu map illustration
can be found in Appendix E, page 277.
The following describes the selections available.

Multisource

This sub-menu is used to select the Multiple Interface option. The printer
will automatically choose the interface receiving data. Within the
multisource option is Delay Seconds. Delay determines the amount of
time to wait before switching from one interface to another after data
becomes present from the host system. The default is 006 and the valid
range is 006 to 030.

Parallel Setup

This sub-menu option is to select the Parallel No Fault PO & OFF option.
This is the only parallel setup option available currently.
The function of the Parallel No Fault PO & OFF option is to
activate/deactivate the interface fault lead. When selected this option
causes the Fault lead NOT to go active on either (or both) a PAPEROUT or
OFFLINE condition. The default setting for this option is to activate fault
on a paperout/deselect condition.

Serial

This sub-menu option is used to make selections under either the Serial
Type or Serial Setup.
