54 I-Class
Communications (continued)
PARALLEL PORT A Controls the communications settings for
Parallel Port A.
PORT DIRECTION Determines if messages are sent from the
printer to the host via the parallel port.
— UNI-DIRECTIONAL One-way printer communication.
BI-DIRECTIONAL Enables IEEE 1284 back-channel
operation.
PARALLEL PORT B Same as Parallel Port A, for an optional
Ethernet connection. If not present, this
displays ‘NOT INSTALLED’ when
accessed.
; Note: If the ‘LOCKED’ message appears when attempting to access the NIC
ADAPTER menu, the printer may have active print requests or multiple users may be
trying to access these parameters (for example, during simultaneous telenet sessions).
NIC ADAPTER Network Interface Card Adapter (optional).
If not present, this displays ‘NOT
INSTALLED’ when accessed.
After making changes to these parameters,
save the changes, exit the menu system, and
cycle the printer’s power ‘Off’ and ‘On’ for
the changes to take effect.
; Note: The boot process (taking up to two
minutes) must be completed at power-up. During
this time, the NIC Adapter will not be accessible
or configurable; "DMXNET INACTIVE" will be
indicated when in the menu system or on a
Configuration Label. After this process, you will
be able to configure the options provided using
the menu system.
IP ADDRESS The static IP address of the NIC Adapter.
This is in standard dotted-decimal format.
SUBNET MASK The static subnet assigned to the NIC
Adapter.
