Parallel Hotport
Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously. It
allows the printer to service hosts attached to the serial, parallel, and either the
coax or twinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.
Trickle Time
This functionality prevents an attached host from timing out. In order to support
this feature, the port has to be able to accept data from the host and store it for
future use. The selected value is the time that the printer waits before getting the
next byte of data from the host. Set the value to be less than the host time out
value. If the value is too much shorter, the printer fills up its buffer too fast. This
function is not applicable for C/T hotport.

Timeout
This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check
the other ports for data to print. When the printer has not received data from the
host after a certain period of time, it needs to Timeout in order to service the other
ports.

Report Status
When this option is enabled, faults are reported even if the fault is not on the
