Interface Selection
INTERFACE SELECTION enables or disables physical interfaces for
attachment switching. If an interface is disabled, it is set offline and any data
received will be ignored.
When coax or twinax is selected, a POR status is sent to the host.
Selecting Autoswitching provides automatic interface switching among
parallel, serial, and either coax or twinax communication. Only one interface
can be enabled at a time. Configuration of the Auto Switching Hotport is
done from the corresponding interface menu, as shown in the following
sections.
When used with serial, parallel and coax or twinax non–IPDS emulations,
Autoswitching does NOT save the state of each emulation during interface
switching. In this case, it is the responsibility of the host application program
to initialize the emulation to the desired state as the beginning of each job. It
is also the responsibility of the host application program to correctly position
the forms at “top of form” and the end of each job. When used with coax or
twinax IPDS, Autoswitching does save the state of the IPDS emulation
during interface switching and will also correctly position the forms at “top
of form” at the end of each IPDS job.
NOTE: If the Multi–Platform Interface Coax/Twinax feature is installed, the
feature provides automatic interface switching between parallel and
either coax or twinax communications. Refer to the Coax/Twinax
Multi–Platform Interface Option Installation and Operation Guide
for more information.
Display Language
This parameter selects the language in which the operator panel messages
will be displayed.
Alarm Control
This parameter enables or disables the audible alarm. The audible alarm is
used to signal problems such as when an end of forms occurs.
Print Direction
The PRINT DIRECTION feature affects both print quality and printing
speed. By setting this feature, you can configure the printer to print in both
directions of the shuttle sweep (BIDIRECTIONAL), or to print in only one
direction (UNIDIRECTIONAL).
