Interface Set Up
Depending upon which interface is being used to connect the printer to the host computer, some set up may or may not be required. This is true of the standard parallel, serial, or Ethernet.
The factory default settings for each interface should work well for most installations. However, the following paragraphs provide some basic information about each interface and also refer to the page number in the “Printer Configuration” chapter where all the details for each interface are described. If you need to make changes to the default settings, please refer to “Introduction To Setup” on page 34 for instructions on how to access the printer’s Setup menus.
