Mode
The Mode option allows you to enable or disable the interface. The
options are Interactive, Noninteractive, or Disabled. If it is Disabled,
the printer accepts no jobs through this protocol. Interactive mode
allows two-way communication (reverse channel) between the host
computer and the printer. Noninteractive is unidirectional communica-
tion from the host computer to the printer only. The default value is
Interactive. If you are not using the serial interface, you may select
Disabled to prevent any jobs from being received through that inter-
face.
The printer must be restarted for changes to the Mode menu to take
effect. Changing the Mode setting will cause the REBOOT NOW?
prompt to appear. You can either choose to restart the printer now
and this change takes effect immediately or you can manually restart
the printer later and have this change take effect then.
Emulation
The Emulation option selects the serial interface's default emulation.
The selections are ESP, Hexdump, PostScript, PCL 5, LN03+,
ImPRESS, CCITT, Lineprinter, and HPGL. The factory default emula-
tion is ESP. This change takes effect immediately.
