Administration / Communications / Parallel Sets the parallel
interface value used for printer-host communications.
Mode (default enabled; range enabled, disabled)
Sets the host mode. You must turn the printer off and
then on again before changes take effect.
Enabled Establishes one-way parallel commu-
nication from the host to the printer.
Disabled Turns off parallel interface communi-
cation with the printer. The printer
stops accepting parallel interface print
jobs.
Emulation (default ESP; range ESP, Hexdump, PCL4, HPGL,
PostScript)
Sets the parallel interface emulation. Optional
emulations appear, only if installed.
Min K Spool (5 digits; default 00015; range 00000-99999)
Sets the minimum number of kilobytes of system
memory allocated to the parallel interface. A 00000
value does not turn off the spooling buffer for the
parallel interface. If the value is set to 00000, the printer
calculates the Min K Spool at initialization.
Prerequisite: Value must be less than K Mem For
Spool.
Spool Timeout (5 digits; default 00030; range 00000-99999)
Number of seconds the interface waits for data from
the host before terminating a spooled print job.
Data Bits (default 8 bits; range 7 bits, 8 bits)
Number of data bits transmitted per character.
End Job Mode (default none; range none, QMS EOD, HP EOD)
Sequences that allow host computers to enforce print
job sequencing without considerations for interacting
timeouts. Enables or disables data stream sensing for
the end-of-document (EOD) command. See appendix
F, “Additional Technical Information,” for details on
how to implement this feature on your QMS 860 Print
System.
