Menu b: Interface

This menu gives you two options for the interface setting: parallel or

serial. The factory setting is b0: parallel interface. If you choose to install an optional interface board, make sure this menu is set to parallel whether the board is for a serial or parallel interface. ‘This is because all optional interface boards use the printer’s internal parallel connections. The serial option is for use with the printer’s internal RS-232C serial interface only.
