Port Enabled	This field allows you to enable and disable the protocol.
Language	Select the language you want the printer to receive on the EtherTalk port; the choices are listed here: AutoSelect HPGL PCL PostScript If you select AutoSelect, the printer automatically senses the language of the print job and processes it accordingly; this is called automatic language selection. Refer to your printer's user documentation for more information about automatic language selection and which languages the printer supports.
Host Access List	This field allows you to give access to the selected printer only to certain hosts. No entry indicates that all hosts have access to the selected printer. To give a host exclusive access to the printer, enter the host's IP address in the field. You can enter up to six valid IP addresses by separating the addresses with a single space.
Receive Window Size	This field allows you to change the default AppSocket receive window size. The value entered must either be 0 or a number between 1024 and 59392. If 0 is entered, the printer uses the window size desired by the print host. If a number between 1024 and 59392 is entered, the window size depends on a negotiation between the printer and the host computer.
Send Window Size	This field allows you to change the default AppSocket send window size. The value entered must either be 0 or a number between 1024 and 59392. If 0 is entered, the printer uses the window size desired by the print host. If a number between 1024 and 59392 is entered, the window size depends on a negotiation between the printer and the host computer.
Filtering	This field allows you to choose whether the printer strips out control characters. The choices are InterpreterBased or None. In most cases, Filtering should be set to None.

Enable Banners	This list box controls banner page printing. When you choose True, banner pages are printed with each job. When you choose False, banner pages are not printed. In bindery mode, banners can be enabled on a per-queue basis or for all queues. In NDS mode, banners are enabled for all queues.
Filtering	This field allows you to choose whether the printer filters out control characters. The choices are InterpreterBased or None. In most cases, Filtering should be set to None.
Configuration Timeout	This field contains a value in minutes that specifies the amount of time the printer searches for the configuration file server or the directory services tree. (This timeout value is valid in bindery mode or NDS mode.) If the printer does not find the configuration file server or the directory services tree within the specified time, the printer scans the network for a bindery file server with queues to service. You may enter a value between 0 and 1999 minutes. The default value is 3 minutes. You may need to increase the value beyond the default if the network has a file server that takes a long time to start up after a power cycle. Setting the value to 0 disables the timeout; that is, the printer will continue to search for a configuration file server or directory services tree indefinitely.
DS Enable	This list box enables NDS support. When you choose True, the printer uses NDS to communicate with the file servers on the network. When NDS is disabled, the printer uses Bindery services as defined in NetWare 3.1 to communicate with file servers. When you choose false, NDS support is disabled. If this NDS is enabled, an entry must be entered in the DS Tree field.
DS Tree	This field contains the NetWare Directory Services Tree that the printer looks for when connecting to file servers on the network. The DS Tree must be entered into this field if the printer is in NDS mode. The maximum length is 32 characters.

TBCP (Tagged Binary Communications Protocol). An 8-bit encoding scheme that provides some communication functions, such as end-of-file and abort job. This is the recommended protocol for Adobe-supplied printer drivers. Normal. An ASCII-based encoding scheme that is used for sending PostScript language jobs to the printer. It is not recommended for jobs that contain binary data. This is the default protocol for the Phaser 340 printer. Note: Protocol cannot be set to Normal if Language is set to AutoSelect; Protocol cannot be set to Raw if Language is set to PostScript, HPGL, or PCL.
Handshake	This list box determines the type of status that the printer can send to a host computer. Choosing Uni-directional enables minimal status reporting from the printer using the parallel status lines only. Choosing Bi-directional enables detailed status reporting from the printer for drivers that can accept bi-directional status reporting over a parallel channel. Note: If Communication is set to Uni-directional, Output Device must be set to null string (select any text in the field and delete it). With a PhaserShare Ethernet or Token Ring card, if Communication is set to Bi-directional, the Output Device must be set to %Parallel%.
Back Channel	This field specifies the destination for status information from the printer; it can be set to %Parallel% (the parallel channel gets data back from the printer) or null string (select any text in the field and delete it). If Communication is set to Uni-directional, this field must be set to None (null string). If Communication is set to Bi-directional, this field must be set to %Parallel%.
Delayed Output Close*	When you choose On, the printer does not begin a new job on this port until the current job is completed. When you choose Off, the printer can begin processing a new job while it is still printing a previous job. If Delayed Output Close is Off, job accounting is disabled for the Parallel port.

Private Host(s)	This field allows you to specify the IP addresses of the members of the private community. Members of the private community are allowed read and write access to all SNMP objects on the printer. All hosts are members of the public community, which is allowed only read-only access to all SNMP variables.
Authentication Failure Enabled	Enable this if you want to be notified if unauthorized users attempt to set SNMP variables.

View and Configure Syslog Settings

Function	Description
Log Host	This field allows you to designate up to two hosts to receive and log Syslog messages. To designate a host as a log host, enter its IP Address in the Log Host field. You can specify multiple addresses by separating them with a single space. The value entered must be a valid IP Address, and not 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, or any address ending with the triplet 255. Note: If you are using BOOTP to set the printer's IP address, this value is overwritten by the value entered in the bootptab file.
Log Priority	This field allows you to set a threshold indicating which priority level of message from the printer will be sent to the log host(s). Enter a number between 0 and 7. The threshold numbers and their meanings are shown in the following list. The priorities listed in the table conform to BSD and SunOS conventions. 0 - emergency; printer is no longer available 1 - alert; printer needs immediate attention 2 - critical; critical error messages 3 - error; error messages 4 - warning; warning messages 5 - notice (printer's default); normal but significant messages 6 - informational messages 7 - debugging messages

View and Configure TCP/IP Settings

Function	Description
Dynamic Address Resolution	Specifies whether the printer should get its IP address from a RARP or BOOTP response at power-up. Dynamic Address Resolution enables the printer to issue RARP and BOOTP requests on power up and to receive configuration information from RARP or BOOTP servers. This should not be used for a printer-based configuration; this prevents RARP or BOOTP packets from appearing on the network when the printer is turned on or reset. If you choose Dynamic Address Resolution, the values in the following fields are overwritten when the printer is reset: IP Address, Network Mask, Broadcast Address, and Gateway Address.
IP Address*	This is the printer's address on the network. The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255. The value entered must be a valid IP address and not 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, or any address ending with 255.
Network Mask*	This is needed in networks that use sub-netting. If you are not using sub-netting, leave this blank; the printer will choose an appropriate mask. The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255.
Broadcast Address*	This is the address the printer uses to send broadcast packets. The format is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255. If you are unsure, leave this blank; the printer will choose an appropriate address.
Gateway Address(es)*	This field allows you to enter up to four destination address/gateway address pairs. Gateway addresses are used to communicate with devices not on the same network segment. Enter a destination IP address, followed by a slash (/), then the gateway host IP address. The destination IP address can be 0.0.0.0 or any valid IP address of the segment that you want to communicate with. The gateway host address is the address of a host that is used to retransmit the packets from the current network segment to another network segment. The format for each address is x.x.x.x, where x represents a decimal number from 0 - 255.
Frame Type	This list box allows you to choose the frame type for packet transmission. Ethernet frame types: 802.3-2 (IEEE packet type with MAC header followed by 802.2 LLC header). DIX (DEC/Intel/Xerox Specification Version 2 packet type). Adaptive Encapsulation. If you choose Adaptive Encapsulation, the printer uses both DIX (Ethernet II) and IEEE 802.3 encapsulation (with IEEE 802.2 LLC and SNAP headers). Token Ring frame type: 802.5-2 SNAP (IEEE Token Ring 802.5-SNAP)
* The values in these fields are overwritten when the printer is reset, the Dynamic Address Resolution is selected, and a RARP or BOOTP server assigns a value.

View and Configure TELNET Settings

Function	Description
Encoding	This list box allows you to set the Adobe PostScript protocol appropriate for the printer driver you are using: Raw. An encoding scheme that provides no communication functions. It is often used when Language is set to AutoSelect. Binary. An 8-bit encoding scheme that provides some communication functions, such as end-of-file and abort job. This has been superseded by TBCP. TBCP (Tagged Binary Communications Protocol). An 8-bit encoding scheme that provides some communication functions, such as end-of-file and abort job. This is the recommended protocol for Adobe-supplied printer drivers. Normal. An ASCII-based encoding scheme that is used for sending PostScript language jobs to the printer. It is not recommended for jobs that contain binary data. This is the default protocol for the Phaser 340 printer. Note: Protocol cannot be set to Normal if Language is set to AutoSelect; Protocol cannot be set to Raw if Language is set to PostScript, HPGL, or PCL.
Port Enabled	This field allows you to enable and disable the protocol.
