I/O menu Items in the I/O (input/output) menu affect the communication between the printer and the computer. Table 26. I/O menu Item Values Explanation PARALLEL ADV COMMUNICATN=ON ON OFF Turn the bidirectional parallel communication on or off. The default is set for a bidirectional parallel port (IEEE-1284). This setting allows the printer to send status readback messages to the computer. (Turning on the parallel advanced functions might slow language switching.) PARALLEL HIGH SPEED=YES YES NO Select the speed at which data is transmitted to the printer. YES : The printer accepts faster parallel communications used for connections with newer computers. NO :
The printer accepts slower parallel communications used for connections with older computers. I/O TIMEOUT=15 SECONDS 5 to 300 SECONDS Select the I/O timeout period in seconds. (The I/O timeout refers to the time, measured in seconds, that the printer waits before ending a print job.) This setting allows you to adjust timeout for best performance. If data from other ports appear in the middle of your print job, increase the timeout value. Press – V ALUE + once to change settings by increments of 1, or hold down – V ALUE + to scroll by increments of 10. EN Chapter 3 Printer operation 69
