[Local Printer Parallel Port]: IEEE Timing Log (for ECP and Nibble Modes)
18.3.
IEEE Timing Log (for ECP and Nibble Modes)
This parameter was introduced with release level 2111.
Very small timing variations can cause failure to print when
using bi-directional communication, which is to say Nibble
Mode or ECP mode.
By letting the timing log stay switched on, you will be able to
see in the
System Log
if the failure to print seems to be caused
by this kind of a timing problem. The
System Log
will also
include a suggested solution.
Sometimes the suggestion will be to try the job again with the
timing log switched off. If the print still doesn’t come through,
you probably have to change the negotiation mode to Compat-
ible.
Value
Comments
Yes*
Switched on. This is the default setting. It has no effect if the
local printer parallel port is set to Compatible Mode.
No
This value is provided as a formality. Being that Yes does not
cause any performance problems, choosing No is purely a
matter of personal taste in cases where you know that the
setup functions perfectly with bi-directional negotiation.
