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.
When Coax or Twinax is selected, a POR status is sent to the host. Selecting
Autoswitching provides automatic interface switching among parallel, serial, and
either Coax or Twinax 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.
Note:
When used with serial, parallel, and Coax or Twinax non-IPDS emulations,
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 as the beginning of
each job. It is also the responsibility of the host application program to
correctly position the forms at “top of form” and the end of each job. When
used with Coax or Twinax IPDS, Autoswitching does save the state of the
IPDS emulation during interface switching and will also correctly position
the forms at “top of form” at the end of each IPDS job.
Display Language
This parameter selects the language in which the operator panel messages will
display.
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.
v
Bidirectional (the default) prints all data in both directions of the shuttle sweep.
This choice produces higher printing speed.
v Unidirectional
prints all data in only one direction of the shuttle sweep. This
choice produces higher print quality.
