Parallel Mode 2
Parallel Mode 2 is a feature available for many Lexmark printers. The factory default
setting is
On
.
The timing required by the printer is clearly indicated in “Standard Protocol Data
Transfer Sequence” on page 8-11. This is the classic Centronics interface timing.
By setting
Parallel Mode 2
to
Off
from the printer operator panel, through MarkVision
Professional, or through a PJL command, the printer changes when data is valid.
Once
Parallel Mode 2
is set to
Off
, the printer takes data from the host computer at the
trailing edge of STROBE. This is the last possible host driven transition where data
should be valid.
Note:
You may find this feature helpful when having data transfer reliability
problems.
