Parallel Interface; Selecting The Parallel Interface Mode - Kyocera FS-1800 Service Manual

Parallel interface

The printer uses a bidirectional parallel interface for high-speed data transmission for the host
computer. This interface includes the buffers which are compatible with the IEEE 1284 standards.
The parallel interface provides support for the ECP and nibble modes in this standards. The parallel
interface mode can be changed by commanding Prescribe commands on a PC.

Selecting the parallel interface mode

To change the parallel interface mode, a PC running MS-DOS is needed. Connect the printer to the
PC via the parallel interface. Then, at the DOS prompt, type a FRPO O0 (the letter O and the
number zero) command as follows depending on the desired parallel mode:
