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.
You cannot 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 so that 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
