Parallel Port Settings

The Parallel Interface implements IEEE 1284 compatibility, Reverse Nibble, and ECP modes. Nibble and ECP modes allow reverse, printer-to-host communication with hosts that are IEEE 1284 compliant.

Parallel Port - Select On or Off to enable or disable the parallel port interface.

Parallel Port Timeout - The range of time allowed before the port times out. The default value is 30 seconds. Values can be entered between 1 and 999 seconds.

Page Description Language - Select the language you want the printer to receive on the Parallel port. If you select Auto Select, the printer automatically senses the language of the print job and processes it accordingly. The possible values are Auto Select, PostScript, and PCL.

USB Port Settings

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) Interface is a bi-directional low to mid-speed serial communications bus that allows plug and play compatibility. It can pass a maximum 64-byte data packet in either direction.

USB Port - Allows you to enable and disable the interface.

USB Port Timeout - The range of time allowed before the port times out. The default value is 30 seconds. Values can be entered between 1 and 999 seconds.

Page Description Language - Select the language you want the printer to receive on the USB Port. If you select Auto Select, the printer automatically detects the language of the print job and processes it accordingly.

Ethernet Interface Settings

Speed - Ethernet speed is the rate at which data is communicated over a physical network connection. Full Duplex mode is bi-directional communication and means that both ends of the connection can send and receive data at the same time. Half Duplex speed is also bi-directional, but can only process data in one direction at a time.

Actual Speed - This shows the actual speed of current Ethernet communication. Values are 100 Base TX or 10 Base TX.

Machine Address (MAC address) - The printer's factory-assigned hardware Ethernet (MAC) address.

Connector - The Ethernet connector type used is called RJ45.
