Auto I/F wait time (Seconds)

When the printer is in the auto interface mode and it receives no data from the currently selected interface for the amount of time specified with this setting, it determines which interface is receiving data and switches to that interface. You can specify either 10 or 30 for the auto interface wait time. When the printer turns on in the PR2 mode, this mode is not activated.

Parallel I/F bidirectional mode

The Parallel Interface bidirectional transfer mode is used when this feature is set to On. If bidirectional transfer mode is unnecessary, select Off.

Packet mode

Make sure to select Auto when you print from Windows applications using the printer driver included on the User CD-ROM. Set this feature to Off if you have connection troubles while printing from applications based on other operating systems such as DOS. When the printer turns on in the PR2 mode, this mode is set to Off.

Baud rate (bps)

Use this option to set the data transfer rate (baud) for the serial interface. The baud rate is measured in bits per second (bps).

Data length (bit)

Set the data length of the serial interface to 7 or 8.

Parity

When this option is set to None, parity checking is disabled. The parity bit, if used, provides a basic form of error detection.
