a print job is being sent through the other interface. You can
specify 10 seconds or 30 seconds for the auto interface wait
time.

When this option is set to None, parity checking is disabled. The
parity bit, if used, provides a basic form of e rror detection. See
your computer manual and software documentation for the
proper setting.
Data length
Set the data length of the serial interface to 7 bit or 8 bi t. See your
computer manual and software documentation for the proper
