Epson 60 manual Connecting the Printer to TWO Computers, Multi-user Modes

Page 19

INSTALLATION

To take a cartridge out of the slot, do the following:

1. Make sure that the machine is in printer "Ready" mode and that it is off line (the indicator must be off).

❐The indicator must be off. If it is flashing, the printer is receiving data. If it is lit but not flashing, press to print the data that is still in the buffer.

2.Grasp the cartridge at the edge and slowly pull it straight out of the slot.

Never remove a cartridge if the printer is on line, while making printer settings (using Selectype mode), or while the printer is resetting. If you remove a cartridge while the printer is in one of these states, a REINSERT CARD message will appear on the display. An error will also occur if you remove a cartridge while the

indicator is on, even if the printer is off line. See the error message descriptions (page 44) for more details.

CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO TWO COMPUTERS

Multi-user Modes

Your printer has two channels. One is serial (RS-232C) and the other is parallel (Cen - tronics). You can hook up a separate computer to each channel.

If you connect two computers to your printer, you can set up the printer to monitor the two channels in one of two different ways.

❐Autosense Multi-user Mode: In this mode, the printer automatically detects which

channel is receiving data, and allocates all the available printer memory to that chan - nel.

❐Individual Multi-user Mode: The printer allocates a fixed proportion of available printer memory to each channel.

To select one of these, use the CH feature (see page 38 for how to program this fea - ture).

Configuring the Serial and Parallel Channels

Your printer will probably work straight away with the default settings. However, if your computer is having problems communicating with the printer, you may have to adjust the I/F CONFIG (Interface Configuration) settings (see page 35 and the pages follow - ing that). The settings must match the settings for your computer.
