Parallel Port (Port Setup)

connect a single Windows computer to the parallel port and print directly to the
RIP Station.

N :
OTE
with the RIP Station.
Ignore EOF Character
specifies that the RIP Station should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages. Check this
box to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal
circumstances, the box should not be checked. When this option is selected, the
RIP Station uses the parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file
has been reached.
Parallel Port Timeout (seconds)
option determines how long the RIP Station waits without receiving data from the
parallel port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the
RIP Station cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to
receive network print jobs.
