4.5.6 INTERFACE Menu
The correct interface connection is necessary to allow the printer to
communicate properly with the host computer. The DEClaser 2100 printer
supports both parallel and serial interface connections. The interface must
match the type used by the host computer.
Youcannot make selections from the INTERFACE menu using commands
from the host computer. All values must be selected from the control panel
and can be saved only in NVRAM. Once you make the selections you should
save them in NVRAM sothat they will be activated (loaded into operational
memory) each time the printer is powered on. The INTERFACE menu
features and values are shown in Table 4–16.
