N
OTE
:
Enabling the parallel port does not conflict with using Ethernet or Token Ring
communication with the Pi6500 Pro.
Ignore EOF Character
—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this option
specifies that the Pi6500 Pro should ignore end-of-file (EOF) messages. Check this box
to print PostScript files in binary format (not ASCII); under normal circumstances, the
box should not be checked. When this option is selected, the Pi6500 Pro uses the
parallel port timeout value to determine when the end of the file has been reached.
Parallel Port Timeout (seconds)
—Available only if Enable Parallel Port is selected, this
setting determines how long the Pi6500 Pro waits without receiving data from the
parallel port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the
Pi6500 Pro cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to
receive network print jobs.
Token Ring (Port Setup)
Enable Token Ring
—Select if the Pi6500 Pro is connected to a Token Ring network.
Maximum Frame Size
—Select the maximum frame size recommended by the network
administrator at your site. If you are uncertain of the setting to use, select the default
value (4202).
Transmission Speed
—Select Auto Sense if your network environment is mixed, or
select the speed (4 Mbps or 16 Mbps) of the network to which the Pi6500 Pro is
attached.
Enable Source Routing
—Select if your network supports source routing.
Request All Routes
—This option is active only if you enabled Source Routing. Select
if you want the Request packet to travel to its destination by all routes.
Respond All Routes
—This option is available only if the previous option is not
selected. Select if you want the Response packet to return by all routes to the originat-
ing computer.
