The first character set references the Unit and the second identifies the page number within that unit. [. . . ] · Enable - reboots interface and clears the printer buffer when the signal is asserted. When enabled, the printer will feed out the job in process when the prime signal is activated through the Centronics interface. Regardless of this menu, the prime signal will also reset the printer. This menu configures the amount of memory allocated for the serial port buffer. The range is 1 to 16 Kbytes in 1 kbyte increments. TOF Action Reset* Buffer Size in K 16* Note: If a baud rate 19200 or greater is selected, the Buffer Size in K parameter may need to be increased from the default to 16 Kbytes to improve performance. The factory default is 16. GL408-412e Operator Manual 4-49 PN: 9001163A Unit 4: Printer Configuration CENTRONICS INTERFACE MODE (TABLE 4-6) MENU DESCRIPTION This feature is used to prevent a host computer from timing out because the parallel interface is busy for too long. Auto Trickle Disable* · Enable - factory default. When the printer's buffers are almost full, the printer begins to trickle data in from the host (at the rate set in the Trickle Time menu) until the buffers start to empty. When the printer is printing data from a host and a second job is recieved by the printer from a different host, Trickle Time prevents the second host from timing out while waiting for its data to be printed. In order to support this feature, the port has to be able to accept data from the host and store it for future use. Trickle Time 1/4 sec* For example, the printer is printing a job from the serial port and then receives a second print job from the parallel port, the data from the parallel port will trckle bit by bit into the print buffer to prevent a timeout error from being sent back to the host connected to the parallel port. The selected value should be less than the host timeout value, but not too much shorter or else the printer fills up its buffer too fast. This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check the other selected Port Types for data print. This memory can only be cleared through the printer's display. GL408-412e Operator Manual 4-51 PN: 9001163A Unit 4: Printer Configuration UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) INTERFACE MODE (TABLE 4-7) MENU DESCRIPTION Communication Protocol. In most cases this menu does not need to be altered and is meant to help support legacy applications which may have incorporated older bi-directional statuses. Anything other than Staus 5 or Standard (none) is not recommended. Comm. This status is the most recent and represented in the interface specifications. For more information, refer to the appropriate section in the programming and interface guide. Is the menu selection screen for the USB Port option of the INTERFACES mode. INTERFACES Host Interface Is the main menu screen for the Host Interface option of the INTERFACES mode. There are only two options relative to the serial interface, ignore all others. Host Interface USB* · Auto Switching - the printer automatically switches to the relative interface type and moves into the applicable menus. Allows the operator to select the interface and the relative menus will follow. Is a transitional screen that will allow the buffer size to be established in the following screen. USB Port Buffer Size in K This menu configures the amount of memory allocated for the serial port buffer. The range is 1 to 16 Kbytes in 1 kbyte increments. Buffer Size in K 1 to 16KB* Note: If a baud rate 19200 or greater is selected, the Buffer Size in K parameter may need to be increased from the default to 16 Kbytes to improve performance. This is the value used by the printer to time out from the current port and check the other selected Port Types for data print. [. . . ] The that table follows coorelates paper width with a dial setting. NOTE: Once the balance has been set, the print head pressure must also be set. Refer to the Print Head Pressure chapter of this manual for instructions. NOTE: If a desired setting cannot be achieved through the dial alone, loosen the set set screw, adjust the plate, retighten the set screw, and then readjust the dial.
