The printer also supports a Device ID function. When queried for its ID, the printer 
returns the following information:
Manufacturer
Command set
Model of printer
The LEXPARAL.EXE file is available from ftp.lexmark.com as /pub/driver/
technical_brief/LEXPARAL.EXE. Use your web browser to access ftp://

When the 
Advanced Status
 menu item is set to 
On
, the printer supports IEEE 1284 
communication. If the attached host computer does not support IEEE 1284 
communication, you can turn 
Advanced Status 
to
 Off
 from the printer operator panel or 
through MarkVision Professional, and SLCTIN* and AUTO FD XT* will be ignored.
Note:
Excessive device queries and status checks (Nibble and Byte modes) will 
slow printer performance.
You can get IEEE 1284 documentation by calling 1-800-678-IEEE (order number 
DS02709).
Parallel Mode 1
Parallel Mode 1 is a feature available for many Lexmark printers. The factory default 
setting is 
On
 or 
Off
 depending on your printer model. See your printer documentation 
for the factory default for your printer.
If the host side of the parallel interface is using open collector drivers to transmit data 
to the printer, 
Parallel Mode 1
 should be set to 
Off
 to increase reliability of data transfer. 
Turning this mode 
Off
 equalizes all parallel interface signal impedances. On some 
printer models, you can set 
Parallel Mode 1 
to
 Off
 from the printer operator panel, 
through MarkVision Professional, or through a PJL command. See your printer 
documentation for more information.
