Epson LX-1170 manual High speed draft, I/F interface mode, Auto I/F interface wait time, Baud rate

High speed draft

When you choose On, the printer prints up to 413 cps (characters per second) at 10 cpi (characters per inch). When you choose Off, the printer prints up to 310 cps at 10 cpi.

I/F (interface) mode

The printer comes with a built-in parallel interface and serial interface.

If your printer is connected to only one computer, select Parallel or Serial for the interface mode, depending on the interface you

use. If your printer is connected to two computers, select Auto (automatic) to allow the printer to automatically switch between interfaces depending on which one is receiving data.

Auto I/F (interface) wait time

This setting takes effect only when I/F (interface) mode is set to Auto. This setting determines how long the printer waits when it no longer receives data from an interface before it checks whether a print job is being sent through the other interface. You can specify 10 seconds or 30 seconds for the auto interface wait time.

Baud rate

Use this option to set the data transfer rate (baud) for the serial interface. The baud rate is measured in bits per second (bps). See your computer manual and software documentation for the proper setting.

Parity

When this option is set to None, parity checking is disabled. The parity bit, if used, provides a basic form of error detection. See your computer manual and software documentation for the proper setting.
