Binary Fixed: Enables binary communications
protocol (BCP). Print jobs cannot alter this value
through PostScript operators.
When PS Protocol is set to the normal fixed or binary
fixed mode and a print job sends PostScript operators
to change the input device mode, the operators are
accepted but not acted upon. See appendix D,
“Additional Technical Information,” for more
information on PS Protocol.
Administration/Communications/Parallel
This option allows you to configure the printer to match the host
communications when using the parallel interface.
Mode Mode allows or disallows the PostScript emulation
interactive mode from the host. The options are
interactive, noninteractive, and disabled. If disabled,
the printer accepts no jobs through this protocol.
Interactive mode allows two-way communication
between the host and the printer. Noninteractive is
unidirectional communication from the host to the
printer only. The factory default is noninteractive. The
printer must be rebooted for a change in this setting to
take effect.
Emulation This option selects the emulation for the printer parallel
port. The choices available for Emulations are ESP,
PostScript, HP PCL 5C, HP-GL, Lineprinter, and
Hexdump. Optional emulations, like LN03 Plus and
CCITT, appear only if installed. The factory default
emulation is ESP.
Min K Spool The minimum of RAM (KB) dedicated to the parallel
interface. Do not set this value greater than K Mem for
Spool. The default setting is 00015.
Spool Timeout The number of seconds the parallel interface waits for
data from the host system before terminating a print
job, from 00000 (no timeout) to 99999, with a factory
default of 00030.
