If your printer is connected to only one computer, select Parallel or Optional for the interface mode, depending on the interface you use. If your printer is connected to more than one computer, select Auto (automatic) for the interface mode to cause 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 if an optional interface is installed

 

and the auto interface mode is selected. 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.

Software

 

 

If you select ESC/P2, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P2

 

mode. If you select IBM 2391 Plus, the printer emulates an IBM

 

printer.

 

Character table

 

You can select among 13 standard character tables as well as

 

tables for 22 other countries. See Appendix C for character

 

samples.

 

International character set for Italic table

 

You can select among several international character sets for the

 

Italic character table. Each character set contains eight characters

 

that vary depending on the country or language, so you can

 

customize the Italic table to suit your printing needs. See

 

Appendix C for character samples.

 

0 slash

 

When you turn on this setting, the zero character contains a slash

 

(0); otherwise it has no slash (0). The slash allows you to easily

 

distinguish between the uppercase letter “O” and a zero.
