Config Menu
Parallel/Serial/Ethernet Hotport Submenu
Port Type
Select the types of parallel and/or serial interfaces which are connected to the
printer. For example, if your printer is attached to one host with a Centronics
connection and a second host with an RS-232 serial connection, you would
select Centronics under the Parallel Hotport menu, and RS-232 under the
Serial Hotport menu.
Auto Trickle
Auto Trickle is used to prevent a host computer from timing out because the
parallel interface was busy for too long. When Auto Trickle is enabled and the
printer's buffers are almost full, the printer will begin to trickle data in (at the
rate set in the Trickle Time menu) until the buffers start to empty.
