Using the MFP menus
Job Buffering This menu item only appears when
a formatted hard disk is installed.
Temporarily stores jobs on the MFP
hard disk before printing.
Note: Changing this menu item
automatically resets the MFP. It is
reset to configure memory, and any
permanent resources, such as fonts
or macros, are lost.
Off* Does not buffer print jobs to the hard
disk.
On Buffers print jobs to the hard disk.
Auto Buffers print jobs only if the MFP is
busy processing data from another
input port.
Advanced Status Enables bidirectional
communication through the parallel
port.
Off Disables parallel port negotiation.
On* Enables bidirectional communication
through the parallel interface.
Protocol Specifies the parallel interface
protocol.
Standard May resolve some parallel interface
problems.
Fastbytes* Provides compatibility with most
existing parallel interface
implementations (recommended
setting).
Honor Init Determines whether the MFP
honors hardware initialization
requests from the computer. The
computer requests initialization by
activating the INIT signal on the
parallel interface. Many personal
computers activate the INIT signal
each time the computer is turned on
and off.
Off* The MFP does not honor hardware
initialization requests from the
computer.
On The MFP honors hardware
initialization requests from the
computer.
Parallel Mode 2 Determines whether the parallel port
data is sampled on the leading or
trailing edge of strobe.
This menu item only appears when
the associated parallel port supports
this feature.
On* Samples parallel port data on the
leading edge of strobe.
Off Samples parallel port data on the
trailing edge of strobe.
Mac Binary PS Configures the MFP to process
Macintosh binary PostScript print
jobs.
On The MFP processes raw binary
PostScript print jobs from computers
using the Macintosh operating system.
Note: This setting often causes
Windows print jobs to fail.
Off The MFP filters PostScript print jobs
using standard protocol.
Auto* The MFP processes print jobs from
computers using either Windows or
Macintosh operating systems.
ENA Address Sets the parallel port ENA Address. 4 field IP address
(0.0.0.0*)
Shown only if an ENA is attached
through a parallel port.
ENA Netmask Sets the parallel port ENA Netmask.
ENA Gateway Sets the parallel port ENA Gateway.
