Table 8-1 shows all protocol timings in nanoseconds.
Fastbytes Protocol Data Transfer Sequence
Your printer is equipped with 
Fastbytes
 protocol, which is an enhanced parallel 
interface protocol. Fastbytes protocol may give you a faster data transfer time on some 
personal computers and operating systems. Fastbytes protocol is the printer default.
If you have data transmission problems between your personal computer and the 
printer, change the parallel protocol to 
Standard
. This causes the printer to operate in 
IEEE-compliant compatibility mode.
The following illustration shows the typical timing sequence.
