Click the Port Setup tab in the Network Setup dialog box.
You can then adjust settings as detailed in the following sections.
Port Setup (Ethernet)
Enable Ethernet
—Select if the RIP Station is to be connected to an Ethernet network.
Transmission Speed
—Select
Auto Detect
if your network environment is mixed, or select
the speed (
10 Mbps
or
100 Mbps
) of the network to which the RIP Station is attached.
The options
10 Mbps TP
and
10 Mbps AUI
refer to how the Ethernet cable is connected,
either through twisted pair cable or the AUI.
Port Setup (Parallel Port)
Enable Parallel Port
—Select if you want to print through the parallel port. You can connect
a single Windows computer to the parallel port and print directly to the RIP Station.

OTE
:
Enabling the parallel port does not conflict with using Ethernet communication with
the RIP Station.
Ignore EOF Character
—Available only if
Enable Parallel Port
is selected, this option specifies
that the RIP Station 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 RIP Station 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 set-
ting determines how long the RIP Station waits without receiving data from the parallel
port before deciding that the current job is complete. Until the timeout, the RIP Station
cannot receive new jobs through the parallel port, but it can continue to receive network
print jobs.
