operation
requires
that
an

selected.
To select an
HP-IB

PROTOCAL
CONFIGURA TION
There are 3
HP-IB
configurations
for the
HPIB
Interface.
The configurations
are as follows:
CIPER (Function 25
=
0)
This is used for 100 O(A/E/F /M),
3000(3X/4X/6X!7X),9000(SRM),
9000(500 series direct) and
9845B/C(SRM).
BLOCK (Function 25
=
1)
This is used for 250/260
and the 64000 systems.
CHARACTER (Function 26
=
19)
(Function 27
=
83)
(Function 25
=
2 )
This mode is used for 9000.
(200 series direct connect)
Character mode has no recovery mechanisms and
returns
no status to the Cf'U.
Therefore
the
console
will
NOT
report
paper
out,
or
transmission problems.
Functions
26 and 27 are
used as a lock word and must be set before
changing function 25 for character mode.
*HP25 36A ONLY.
All of these configuration
parameters
can be changed
via the panel on
printers with control board firmware
date code
2418 and greater
(use self test to verify
the
firmware
date code on control
board).
The
printers
prior (before) to 2418 must be in CE
mode to change configuration
parameters.
