When you want to print more lines on a page, set this feature to 3 mm. If you set the top margin with your software, that setting is added to the default-setting value.

Interface mode

The interface mode specifies which interface port can receive print data.

The EPSON Stylus COLOR has a parallel interface port and an RS-422 serial port. You can also install an optional interface card, including an RS-232C serial interface card or an additional parallel interface. See Chapter 7 for more information about optional interface cards.

Note:

The RS-422 serial port is standard for the Apple Macintosh but is not often used for PCs.

By default, interface mode is selected for automatic selection so the printer can automatically select the interface that is receiving data. This allows you to connect the printer to more than one computer without having to specify the interface port.

If you wish, you can set the interface mode for a specific interface. However, the printer will not detect print data that is received over a different interface.

Auto interface wait mode

When you select Auto I/F mode in the Interface mode option, you can set the interface timeout to 10 seconds or 30 seconds.

The printer does not accept data from another interface unless it receives no data from the current interface for the period set in I/F timeout.
