KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS
■ Interface settings
These programs are used to control data transmitted
to the parallel port or network port of this printer.
Hexadecimal dump mode
This program is used to output the print data from a
computer in the hexadecimal dump format with
corresponding characters (ASCII). This program is
used to check proper transmission of print data from
the computer to the printer.
Output example of hexadecimal dump mode (A4
portrait)
{Hexadecimal dump mode}
Same as for the main unit.
PDL for parallel port
This program is used to specify a printer language
to emulate when the printer is connected to a
computer through a parallel port.
Setting items Description
Auto The printer language will switch
automatically in accordance with
the data from the computer.
PostScript PostScript emulation is used to
print the data from the computer.
(An optional PS3 expansion kit is
needed.)
PCL PCL emulation is used to print the
data from the computer.
{Parallel port emulation switching}
Same as for the main unit.
NOTE
It is recommended to set “AUTO” (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.
PDL for network port
This program is used to specify a printer language
to emulate when the printer is connected to a
computer through the network port.
The setting items are the same as those of “PDL for
parallel port”.
{Network port emulation switching}
Same as for the main unit.
NOTE
It is recommended to set “AUTO” (default setting)
unless an error due to this setting occurs frequently.
I/O timeout
This program is used to set the length of time to
wait for an I/O to complete a job on the parallel port
or the network port. If the data stream to the port
does not transmit data for a length of time exceeding
the timeout, the job will cancel and the next job will
start processing.
{I/O timeout}
Same as for the main unit.
NOTE
The allowable range of the time is 1 to 999 seconds.
Port switching
This program is used to set the switching method of
the parallel port and network port of this printer.
Setting item Description
PER JOB After a print job is complete,
automatic port selection state will
be restored.
TIMEOUT After I/O timeout time (set with
the program above) elapses,
automatic port selection state will
be restored.
PARALLEL Printing from the parallel port is
OFF disabled.
NETWORK Printing from the network port is
OFF disabled.
{Port switching method}
Same as for the main unit.
The item names in the table above, however, are
different as follows.
PER JOB
SWITCH AT END OF JOB
TIMEOUT
SWITCH AFTER I/O TIMEOUT
PARALLEL OFF
DISABLE PARALLEL PORT
NETWORK OFF
DISABLE NETWORK PORT
