PARALLEL2 MENU

The PARALLEL2 MENU applies to the Compatible/Nibble mode interface.
With Compatible/Nibble mode, a parallel port can support bi-directional
communications between your computer and its peripherals.
PERSONALITY is displayed only after the A-32 module for Adobe PostScript 3 is
installed. Until you install the A-32 module, PCL is the standard personality of your printer.
With this setting you can set the parallel port for automatic personality switching or
dedicate the parallel port for only one personality. This feature sets the personality
only for printer streams received on the parallel port.
AUTO
The printer samples the print stream on the parallel port and
automatically switches to the personality required to print the job.
PCL
The parallel port is dedicated to the PCL personality and will print
only PCL data and will not switch to the PostScript personality if
a PostScript print stream is received on the parallel port. However,
special commands sent to the printer with the print stream can
force the printer to switch to the PostScript personality.
