Parallel port emulation switching
This program is used to specify a printer language to emulate when
the printer is connected to a computer through the parallel port.
NOTE: It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting) unless
an error due to this setting occurs frequently.
Enable USB port
This program is used to enable or disable printing from the USB
port.
Default setting: Enable
USB port emulation switching
If the machine is connected using the USB port, select the emu-
lated printer language.
The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel port emulation
switching".
NOTE: It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting) unless
an error due to this setting occurs frequently.
Enable network port
This program is used to enable or disable printing from the net-
work port.
Default setting: Enable
Network port emulation switching
This program is used to specify a printer language to emulate
when the printer is connected to a computer through the network
port.
The setting items are the same as those of "Parallel port emulation
switching".
NOTE: It is recommended to set "AUTO" (default setting) unless
an error due to this setting occurs frequently.
Port switching method
The machine can use the three ports shown below for printing.
This program is used to select when switching between ports will
take place. "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" or "SWITCH AFTER I/O
TIMEOUT" can be selected. When "SWITCH AT END OF JOB" is
selected, the port will be automatically selected after each print job
is completed. When "SWITCH AFTER I/O TIMEOUT" is selected,
the port will be automatically selected if the time set in the I/O Tim-
eout program elapses.

•USB port
•Network port
Parallel port ECP setting
This is used to enable bi-directional communication through the Cen-
tronix interface.
Select "Parallel port ECP setting" to enable data transmission both
from the computer to the printer and from the printer to the computer.
Normally ECP mode is not selected.
B. Network settings
These programs are set when this product is used as a network
printer.
After you complete the setting for one program, you must exit the
key operator programs, turn off the main switch, wait briefly, and
then turn on the main switch again before any other programs can
be set. The program that was set will be effective after the power
is turned on.
NOTE: For setting and modification of "Network settings", be sure
to consult with the network administrator.
IP address setting
When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP proto-
col, use this program to set the IP address (IP address, IP subnet
mask, and IP gateway) of this product. The program is set to
ENABLE DHCP by factory default setting, which obtains the IP
address setting automatically. When using this product on a TCP/
IP network, be sure to turn on the "Enable TCP/IP" program
below.
Enable TCP/IP
When using this product in a network that uses the TCP/IP proto-
col, set this program. Also set the IP address using the program
"IP address setting" above.
Default setting: Enable
Enable NetWare
When using this product in a network that uses the NetWare proto-
col, set this program.
Default setting: Enable
Enable EtherTalk
When using this product in a network that uses the EtherTalk pro-
tocol, set this program.
Default setting: Enable
Enable NetBEUI
When using this product in a network that uses the NetBEUI proto-
col, set this program.
Default setting: Enable
Reset the NIC
This program is used to reset all setting items of NIC (Network
Interface Card) of this product to the factory default settings.
NOTE: If any of the [NETWORK SETTINGS] were changed prior
to execution of this program, you must turn off the power
switch after exiting the key operator program, wait briefly,
and then turn on the power switch to make the factory
default settings take effect.
Tandem setting
This setting is used to configure the IP address and port number of
the client printer when you wish to have two machines (which are
used as TCP/IP network printers) print in tandem.
Tandem printing is not possible if the other machine is a different
model than your machine.
The factory default setting for the port number is [50001]. Unless
you experience difficulty with this setting, it does not need to be
changed.
The tandem function can also be prohibited, or the reception of
tandem data from the other machine can be prohibited. (Normally
this is not necessary.)
To prohibit the tandem function, select "DISABLING OF MASTER
MACHINE MODE".
To prohibit reception of tandem data from the other machine,
select "DISABLING OF SLAVE MACHINE MODE".
NOTE: To use the tandem function when auditing mode is
enabled, the same account number must be entered on
both machines. If the same account number is not
entered, only the server machine may print or the printed
pages may not be added to the correct account.
PING command
This program is used to check if the machine and a computer con-
nected to the network can communicate.
Enter the IP address of the computer that you wish to check and
touch the [START] key. A message will appear indicating whether
or not there was a response from the computer.
Setting items Description
Auto The printer language will switch automatically in
accordance with the data from the computer.
PostScript PostScript emulation is used to print the data
from the computer. (An optional PS3 expansion
kit is needed.)
PCL PCL emulation is used to print the data from the
computer.
If DHCP is used, the IP address assigned to the machine may
be changed automatically on occasion.
If this happens, printing will not be possible.
