2.10 Bi-Centronics Interface
The Bi-Centronics interface is supported to maintain upward compatibility with the conventional
Centronics interface and implement bi-directional communication.
MultiPASS C50 supports three interface modes: Compatibility, Nibble and ECP modes which conform to
IEEE-P1284 D2.00 Sep. 10, 1993.
2.10.1 Functions
a) Centronics uni-directional Interface (Compatibility mode)
If the facsimile is used as a printer for an MS-DOS application, select #4 DOS PRINTING menu so that
the facsimile switches to the printer mode and the Centronics interface is available for uni-directional
printing.
By default, it works with IBM Proprinter X24E (BJ mode) compatible machines, but can be configured
to work with Epson LQ-2550 compatible machines, by BJ Setup Utility program.
b) Bi-Centronics Interface (Nibble mode)
If the printer mode is off, the Bi-Centronics interface is selected and the functions mentioned below can
be used with the MultiPASS Desktop manager software under MS-Windows or Windows 95.
(1) Sending
Data from the computer can be sent by facsimile.
(2) Receiving
Received facsimile data can be sent to the computer.
(3) Scanning
Documents can be scanned into the computer.
(4) Telephone dialing
Telephone dialing from the computer.
(5) Printing
Data from the computer can be printed by facsimile.
If printing is performed under Windows 95®, set #4 DOS PRINTING menu to OFF.
The facsimile is switched to the printer mode and printing is started by sending commands from the
printer driver instead of using the #4 DOS PRINTING. The printer mode is canceled after printing.
When the
“PRINTER MODE”
is displayed, the user cannot carry out some operations
(such as registration, manual transmission and reception). When operating from a
Windows 95® application, if #4 DOS PRINTING is ON, a warning flashes on screen,
every few seconds.
