PERSONALITY is displayed only after the Adobe PostScript 3 module is installed.
Until you install the module, PCL is the standard personality of your printer.
With this setting you can set the parallel port for automatic personality switching or
dedicate the parallel port for only one personality. This feature sets the personality
only for printer streams received on the parallel port.
AUTO
The printer samples the print stream on the parallel port and automatically
switches to the personality required to print the job.
PCL
The parallel port is dedicated to the PCL personality and will print only PCL data
and will not switch to the PostScript personality if a PostScript print stream is
received on the parallel port. However, special commands sent to the printer with
the print stream can force the printer to switch to the PostScript personality.
PS
The parallel port is dedicated to the PostScript personality and will print only
PostScript data and will not switch to the PCL personality if a PCL print stream is
received on the parallel port. However, special commands sent to the printer with
the print stream can force the printer to switch to the PCL personality.
ON, OFF
BIDIRECTION is the ability of the printer to send status read-back messages to
the host computer. Although this feature increases reliability in operation,
personality switching may be slower.
ON
The printer sends queries and responses about its status to the host computer.
