Chapter 4 NETWORK SETUP Menu
Ethernet Speed
This menu option only appears if a 10/100Base-T network interface card
(NIC) is installed. The Ethernet Speed menu allows compatibility with different
systems and networks. The factory default is Auto Select.
• Auto Select . (factory default) This setting tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to
perform an auto detection scheme and configure itself to be 10 Half
Duplex, 10 Full Duplex, 100 Half Duplex, or 100 Full Duplex.
• 10 Half Duplex . Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 10
Megabits per second using half duplex.
• 10 Full Duplex . Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 10
Megabits per second using full duplex.
• 100 Half Duplex . Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 100
Megabits per second using half duplex.
• 100 Full Duplex . Tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to communicate at 100
Megabits per second using full duplex.
Job Control
The job control mode has four options:
• Standard (factory default). The NIC waits for the printer to finish receiving
the current job before sending another job. The status line shows “done”
when the job is completely received by the NIC.
• Enhanced . The NIC waits for the printer to finish receiving the current job
before sending another job. The status line shows “done” when the job is
fully printed.
• Off . No job synchronization between the NIC and the printer.
• Fast Standard . The EOJ (End of Job) packet is acknowledged
immediately. Use this selection if the job is timed out due to a delay in the
acknowledgement of the EOJ packet because of the amount of data
being printed.
NOTE: It is recommended to set this option to Enhanced if the emulation is
Postscript.
Offline Process
• Disable (factory default). When set to disable, the printer does not
network data while in offline mode.
• Enable . When set to enable, the printer continues to process without
printing the current network job while the printer is offline until the printer’s
buffer is full.
