Ethernet Speed
The Ethernet Speed allows compatibility with different systems and networks. The
factory default is Auto Select.
v
Auto Select (the default). This setting tells the 10/100Base-T NIC to perform an
auto detection scheme and configure itself to be 10 Half Duplex, 10 Full Duplex,
100 Half Duplex, or 100 Full Duplex.
v 10 Half Duplex . This setting tells the 100 Base-T NIC to communicate at 10
Megabits per second using half duplex.
v
10 Full Duplex . This setting tells the 100 Base-T NIC to communicate at 10
Megabits per second using full duplex.
v 100 Half Duplex
. This setting tells the 100 Base-T NIC to communicate at 100
Megabits per second using half duplex.
v
100 Full Duplex . This setting tells the 100 Base-T NIC to communicate at 100
Megabits per second using full duplex.
Job Control
The job control mode has three options:
v
Standard (the default). The NIC waits for the printer to finish receiving the
current job before sending another job. The status line shows “done” when the
job is completely received by the NIC. This is default.
v
Enhanced . The NIC waits for the printer to finish receiving the current job
before sending another job. The status line shows “done” when the job is fully
printed.
v Off
. No job synchronization between the NIC and the printer.
Ethernet Hotport
Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously. It
allows the printer to service hosts attached to the serial, Ethernet, and either the
coax or twinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.
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.
v 10 Sec
(the default)
v
10 Sec- 60 Sec
