Serial
Communication
Mode
The Mode option enables or disables the PostScript interactive mode
from the host. The options are Noninteractive, Interactive, and Dis-
abled. Noninteractive establishes one-way communication from the
host to the printer. Interactive establishes two-way communication
between the host and the printer. Disabled turns off serial communi-
cation with the host so that the printer stops accepting print jobs over
the serial interface. The default value is Interactive.
Emulation
The Emulation option lets you set the serial interface’s default emula-
tion. You can select from the standard emulations supported by the
printer (PCL 5, Lineprinter, HP-GL, LN03 Plus, imPRESS, ESP,
CCITT, and PostScript), an optional emulation, or Hexdump. The fac-
tory default value is ESP.
Selecting Hexdump generates a listing, in hexadecimal format, of all
data received over the interface. Hexdump is useful for diagnosing
communication problems.
Min K Spool
This five-digit value sets the minimum number of kilobytes of system
memory dedicated to the serial interface. The range is 00000 to
99999 and the default value is 00015. See “Dedicating Memory to an
Interface” in chapter 7 for information about the Min K Spool setting.
Spool Timeout
The Spool Timeout option is a numeric value for the number of sec-
onds that the printer waits for additional data from the host while it is
spooling a job. The range is 00000 to 99999 seconds and the default
value is 00030 seconds. If you change this setting, you must ensure
that the new setting does not conflict with the PS Wait Timeout and
Emul Timeout values.
