HOST INTERFACE

IMPORTANT The printer will not print unless the type of interface selected from the Host Interface Menu matches the type of interface in your host computer. The interface in your host computer is the one that connects to the data cable of the printer. For example, if the interface in your computer is a serial interface, then the serial interface must be selected from the Host Interface Menu in the printer.
