Parallel Interface Control Options
Nov93
Parallel interface control is divided into two categories: software control and
hardware configuration.
Software Control
Parallel interface straps are used to set the programming functions within
the printer for a particular application. The straps are set using the keypad
pushbuttons. The parallel interface must be selected before the straps will
appear in the display menu.
See Appendix F for a complete listing of the available straps and the
instructions for changing the settings.
Hardware Configuration
The application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) technology used in this
printer allows the hardware portion of the interface to be configured using
the keypad pushbuttons.
The display menu choices allow setting all straps simultaneously to the
factory default settings or changing the setting of each strap individually.
Appendix F contains a listing of all hardware straps, the SMPI jumper
number that they replaced, and the recommended (default) settings for use
with CENTRONICS or Dataproducts parallel interfaces.
CENTRONICS/Dataproducts Settings
When either the CENTRONICS or Dataproducts interface is selected, the
hardware straps automatically default to the settings recommended for that
interface. (See the default settings in the Appendix F listing.)
Individual strap changes should be saved to nonvolatile memory by pressing
3 - 0- 0 - 4 - 1 - 4 while the display is showing Local:.
Saving the settings allows you to recall the settings (3 - 0 - 0 - 4 - 0 - 4)
after an interruption in power or after a keypad printer initialization
(3 - 0 - 0 - 4 - 4).
