to any port and executes the first print job received from any enabled port and then advances to the next enabled port in the sequence. The sequential polling is: Parallel, Serial, AppleTalk, Other I/O, and then back to Parallel. *

F Priority--this scheme allows you to assign a

high priority to one enabled port (Parallel, AppleTalk, Serial, or Other I/O). All other ports have the same lower priority. If new jobs are received from the priority port before the jobs on the other ports have begun executing, the port with the high priority gets its print jobs printed first and bumps other jobs with lower priority ports down the queue.

Your printer comes with twinax or coax, parallel Centronics and serial (RS-232C) interfaces enabled. Use this menu to configure the interfaces to meet the needs of your operation.

Serial and parallel Centronics communication use special communication parameters. Refer to your host computer software manuals for details and make sure your computer and your printer are using identical settings for each of the serial and parallel Centronics parameters. In most cases, you can use the factory default settings because they are suitable for most office situations.

Parallel, Serial, and Other I/O (Twinax or Coax)

The parallel, serial and Other I/O (twinax or coax) interface menu items have two common options:

F Enable Interface (I/F) F Printer Type

The serial menu item has an additional option: Serial Setup.

with this setting, the printer recognizes only the standard PostScript page description language to describe the appearance of a printed page. Some of the 256 characters used by PostScript are interpreted as control functions only and cannot be transmitted as data. The control functions are:

— End of job — Status (e.g., printer idle) — Abort (e.g., cancel) — Xon — Xoff

F PCL 5

with this setting, the printer recognizes only the PCL 5 command set for defining a page, selecting fonts, etc.

F Binary Communications Protocol (BCP)

this setting is a data analysis tool that diagnoses application software related problems and communication problems.

PostScript (TBCP PS)

allows individual applications to enable or disable binary communications on a per job basis with begin and end protocol functions. All 256 characters can be interpreted as data and some can also be interpreted as control functions. TBCP PostScript has the same control functions as BCP PostScript plus the begin and end protocol functions.

Flow Control The Flow Control menu item regulates the flow of data to the printer for the serial connection. The following communication protocols can be selected:

F Xon/Xoff--this is a data stream handshake

F Robust Xon/Xoff--this data stream handshake

2-31

is an extension of the Xon/Xoff data stream handshake. If no data is received within one second of the transmission of an Xon, it sends additional Xon characters at one second intervals.

F Data Terminal Ready (DTR)--the DTR line

indicates whether or not the printer can receive data (READY) or not (BUSY). When the printer is READY, the DTR signal switches to a HIGH state (unless the DTR line has been set to inverted operation, in which it switches to a low state) as a request for data.

The printer requests data when the print buffer is near empty.

The printer switches DTR to BUSY when the print buffer is near full. When the printer is turned on, the DTR signal is held at BUSY until the printer has completed SELF TEST and WARM UP.

Baud Rate (Serial) The Baud Rate is the rate at which the information is sent from the host computer to the printer. Baud rate is measured in bits per second (bps). The factory default

9600

setting is *

and this setting is normally appropriate, but the setting must correspond to the baud rate setting at the host computer.

The following baud rates are supported: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400.

Preventing Manual Feed Problems

It is important to carefully follow the manual feeding procedures to reduce the risk of paper handling problems, such as paper jams and skewed images (print appears on the sheet out of alignment, slanted at an angle).

Paper jams are usually the result of early feeds. The sheet is fed before the preceding sheet has cleared the paper path by dropping onto the output tray.

NOTE: If paper jams do occur, refer to the “Clearing a Paper Jam and Resuming the Job,” section in Chapter 5, “Care and Maintenance,” for the correct way to clear the jammed paper.

A skewed image is usually the result of:
