Chapter 10, Test Settings Printout. 4.3. Printer Sharing On the ida 812-1x MIO it is possible to use parallel output from an IBM PC, as the printer interface contains a printer sharing module. For both the twinax port and the parallel port, you can program a user string to be used for initialisation in a share situation. - Page 20 812-1x MIO Operator’s Guide Operation If data is sent on the twinax line, the module will enter Twinax Session mode. If no data is sent via the twinax line within the specified timeout period, parallel data may be printed. This also applies if the module is in Twinax Session mode.

FSL Functions are special commands in the data stream that set up the interface card and consequently the printer to function in a specific way. The ida 812-1x MIO interface card is pre-programmed and ready to operate. The factory default setup will meet the demands of most host systems and users, and special programming is therefore normally not required. -
