Coax Interface Menu
PA2
PA2 is only valid when the printer is in the NOT READY state and the coax
SCS data stream is active. This function displays the “PA2 ENABLED”
message when the
Enter key is pressed and sends a special operator
request to the host when the printer is made READY.
NOTE: Selecting the PA2 menu item again (“PA2 DISABLED” appears on
the operator panel) or selecting the PA1 menu item will reset the
pending PA2 function.
Buffer Reprint
This option is only valid when the printer is in the NOT READY state and the
Coax SCS data stream is active. The printer displays the “ENABLED”
message when the
Enter key is pressed, and sends an Intervention Required
Status to the host when the printer goes to READY state.
NOTE: Selecting the Buffer Reprint menu item again (“DISABLED” appears
on the operator panel) will reset the Buffer Reprint function.
Printer Emulation
This parameter defines the printer emulation, as follows:
•
4234 (the default)
•
3287
After the emulation has been changed, a POR status is sent to the host.
Early Print Complete
Early Print Complete capability allows the printer to send Print Complete
status to the host before the printer is actually done printing all data.
•
DISABLE (the default) means the printer will suppress the Early Print
Complete response until all printing is complete.
•
ENABLE means the printer will send an acknowledgement to the host
when it is able to accept more data.
NOTE: When an Early Print Complete is enabled and an error occurs, the
data in the printer will remain in the buffer (regardless of the setting of
the Cancel Buffer option). It is recommended that local procedures be
followed to recover from the error.
Do not select Early Print Complete while a print job is in progress. If
this is done you will need to restart the printer.
