INTERFACES Submenus
Host Interface
This option allows you to send print jobs through any interface with
autoswitching selected as host interface. It also allows a particular interface
from the menu to be selected.
The options are Auto Switching (factory default), Centronics, Serial,
IEEE 1284, and Ethernet.
NOTE:
The Ethernet option appears only if Ethernet is installed.
ETHERNET PORT
•
Timeout
. This is the value used by the printer to time out the current port
and check the other selected Port Types for data to print. When the
printer has not received data from the host after a certain period of time, it
needs to time out to service the other ports.
The range is 1 to 60 seconds, and the factory default is 10 seconds.
•
Switch Out On
.
•
Data Timeout
(the default). Allows Autoswitching when no data has
been received for the selected timeout period.
•
Session Close
. Allows Autoswitching only when the Network Socket
is closed. If the Ethernet Adapter is not installed the Network Socket
is always reported as closed and this menu option is ignored.
ETHERNET SETTING
•
IP Address
.This item allows you to set the IP Address for the TCP/IP
protocol in four three-digit segments (SEG1 through SEG4). If the IP
Address is assigned by Bootp, ARP or DHCP, it is dynamic and
read-only.
The factory defaults for the SEG1 through SEG4 are 000, 000, 000, and
000.
After specifying an IP address, you are prompted to:
Press
↵
to Save & Exit
Press
to Exit
Press
to Edit.
NOTE:
When changing the IP Address, the printer resets the ethernet when
the printer is placed online. When the printer resets the ethernet, the
LCD displays DO NOT POWER OFF. The printer will then reboot to
re-establish communication with the ethernet.
