Interface Selection

Interface Selection
INTERFACE SELECTION enables or disables physical interfaces for
attachment switching. If an interface is disabled, it is set offline and any data
received will be ignored.
Selecting Autoswitching provides automatic interface switching among
parallel and serial communication. Only one interface can be enabled at a
time. Configuration of the Auto Switching Hotport is done from the
corresponding interface menu, as shown in the following sections.
When used with serial or parallel, Autoswitching does NOT save the state of
each emulation during interface switching. In this case, it is the responsibility
of the host application program to initialize the emulation to the desired state
at the beginning of each job. It is also the responsibility of the host application
program to correctly position the forms at “top of form” at the end of each job.
Display Language
This parameter selects the language in which the operator panel messages
will be displayed. The only selection currently available is English.
Alarm Control
This parameter enables or disables the audible alarm. The audible alarm is
used to signal problems such as when an end of forms occurs.
Print Direction
The PRINT DIRECTION feature affects both print quality and printing speed.
By setting this feature, you can configure the printer to print in both directions
of the shuttle sweep (BIDIRECTIONAL), or to print in only one direction
(UNIDIRECTIONAL).
You might want to use UNIDIRECTIONAL when printing bar codes, high
quality text and graphics, or other printing that requires precise vertical
alignment.
Although enabling this feature reduces print speed, it enhances the vertical
alignment of dots and produces cleaner, sharper bar codes and text.
•
BIDIRECTIONAL (the default) will print all data in both directions of the
shuttle sweep. This choice produces higher printing speed.
•
UNIDIRECTIONAL will print all data in only one direction of the shuttle
sweep. This choice produces higher print quality.
