CrownNet interface are spooled and sent to the printer.
n Emulation—Allows you to choose the emulation used for your
print jobs.
n Min[imum] K[ilobyte] Spool—Allows you to define the size of

received, when jobs are received simultaneously.
n PS Protocol—Allows you to set the binary communications pro-
tocol (BCP) for communicating over a parallel interface to a Post-

Enabling the CrownNet Interface
The Mode menu allows you to enable or disable network communica-
tion over the CrownNet interface. This ability is useful if you’re not
planning to use the interface. By disabling it, the memory used by the
interface spooler can be allocated to other memory clients.
