Serial Hotport
Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously. It
allows the printer to service hosts attached to the serial, parallel, and either
coax or twinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.
Trickle Time
This functionality prevents an attached host from timing out. To support this
feature, the port has to be able to accept data from the host and store it for
future use. The selected value is the time that the printer waits before getting
the next byte of data from the host. Set the value to be less than the host time
out value. If the value is too much shorter, the printer fills up its buffer too fast.
This function is not applicable for C/T hotport.
