Unit 4: Printer Configuration
Communication Protocol. Selects the mode of Bi-Directional communications. In most cases this
menu does not need to be altered and is meant to help support legacy applications which may
have incorporated older bi-directional statuses. Anythin 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.
• Status 3 - legacy bi-directional support. Not recommended for new applications.
• Status 4 - legacy bi-directional support. Not recommended for new applications.
Is the menu selection screen for the Host Interface option of the INTERFACES mode.
There are only two options relative to the serial interface, ignore all others.
• Auto Switching - the printer automatically switches to the relative interface type and moves
into the applicable menus.
• Ethernet - factory default. Allows the operator to select the interface and the relative menus
will follow.
Is the menu selection screen for the Ethernet Port option of the INTERFACES mode.
Is a menu subset of the Ethernet Port option. Will move into the Timeout menu.
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.
Determines when other ports are active and able to communicate with the printer when the
Ethernet interface is not in use.
• Data Timeout - factory default. The other ports (Parallel, Serial, USB) are able to send data
to the printer when the timeout setting has been reached. This setting is adjustable via the
display menu item Timeout.
• Session Close - the other ports (Parallel, Serial, USB) are able to send data to the printer
when the port has been closed. Example: If a RAW port of 9100 is open, the printer will not
accept data from another interface until that port is closed by the host.
Is the menu selection screen for the Ethernet Setting option of the INTERFACES mode.
