have incorporated older bi-directional statuses. Anything other than Staus 5 or Standard (none) is
not recommended.
• Status 5 - factory default. Most advanced of the options. This status is the most recent and
represented in the interface specifications. For more information, refer to the appropriate
section in the programming and interface guide.
• Standard - bi-directional interface is not used.
• Status 2 - legacy bi-directional support. Not recommended for new applications.

This menu configures the amount of memory allocated for the serial port buffer. The range is 1 to
16 Kbytes in 1 kbyte increments.
Note: If a baud rate 19200 or greater is selected, the Buffer Size in K parameter may need to be
increased from the default to 16 Kbytes to improve performance.
The factory default is 16.
This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check the other selected
Port Types for data print. When the printer has not received data from the host after a certain
period of time, it must timeout in order to service other ports.
The factory default of 10 seconds with an allowable range of 1 to 60 seconds.
