Canon LBP-1000 User Guide

The parallel port is dedicated to the PostScript personality and will
print only PostScript data and will not switch to the PCL personality

if a PCL 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 PCL personality.

BIDIRECTION is the ability of the printer to send status read-back messages to the
host computer. Although this feature increases reliability in operation, personality

switching may be slower.

The printer sends queries and responses about its status to the host

computer.

No query/response and status output from the printer to the host.

I/O TIMEOUT (input/output timeout) is the amount of time (measured in seconds)

that the printer waits for more data before it ends a print job. If data from other ports
frequently arrives during a print job, increase the setting.

This timeout setting is for the parallel interface only.

The timeout is set for 15 sec.

To increase the number, press 

; to quickly scroll to a higher

number in increments of 10, press and hold down 

.

To decrease the number, press 

 and 

; to quickly scroll

back to a lower number in decrements of 10, press and hold down

 and 

.

If the timeout value is set to 3,000 seconds and a print job issues an
appropriate EOJ (End of Job) command in the PJL language (job boundary),
the timeout on the port will be 30,000 seconds (10 times 3,000 which is larger
than 300 sec.).
