This section describes the menus, features, and values of the printer.
The main menu choices for the DEClaser 1152 printer are as follows:
INTERFACE
PS PCL SETUP
PAPER HANDLING
MISCELLANEOUS
Table 3–3, Table 3–8, Table 3–10, and Table 3–11 show the features and values
for these main menu choices.
3.3.1 Interface Selection
This feature selects the interface(s) used to communicate with the host
computer(s).
Multiple simultaneous active interfaces are a feature of PostScript level 2. For
example, the Centronics interface and a serial interface can be active at the
same time.
If a serial line is connected and active when the interpreter switches to PCL4,
the following occurs:
• The protocol switches from ‘‘normal’’ to ‘‘raw’’.
• The flow control changes to ‘‘receive xon/xoff’’ if the previous mode was
xon/xoff.
If a serial line is connected and active when the interpreter switches to
PostScript, the following occurs:
• The protocol switches from ‘‘raw’’ to ‘‘normal’’.
• The flow control changes to ‘‘xon/xoff’’ if the previous mode was receive
xon/xoff.
3.3.2 INTERFACE Menu
The DEClaser 1152 printer supports parallel, serial, and LocalTalk interface
connections. The interfaces of the printer must match the interfaces used by
the host computers.
In Table 3–3, default values are shown in uppercase in the ‘‘Values’’ column.
