TOF Action
• Reset. A form feed is performed before a warm start when the prime
signal is asserted from the host. This setting is used only if the Prime
Signal parameter is enabled.
• Do Nothing. No form feed is performed on reset.
Buffer Size in K
Configures the amount of memory allocated for the Centronics parallel port
buffer. The default is 1 Kbyte, but you can specify between 1 and 16 Kbytes,
in 1-Kbyte increments.
Serial Submenu
The serial submenu allows you to choose the configuration of the Serial host
interface type, as shown above. Several other serial parameters are included
on this menu, as described below.
Note The serial parameters in the printer must be set the same as the interface
in the host computer (at the other end of the data cable of the printer).
Otherwise, the printer might not work online, and data characters from the
computer might not print or might print as “garbled” text.
