Expansion Board

With default settings, the printer automatically selects the active emulation. To specify an emulation steadily, select the emulation using the control panel. Use the Personality item of the Config menu.

Once you select the alternate emulation, the other menus change to reflect the options and functions of the new emulation. Consult the documentation supplied with the emulation card for the menu functions and items. Procedures for working in the menus remain the same as for the resident emulation.

The printer’s standard interface is parallel. The available optional interfaces are serial, LocalTalk, and Ethernet. If your computer cannot use a parallel port for your printer or the location of your printer is distant from the computer, you can use the serial port, LocalTalk port, or Ethernet port of the computer to connect your printer. Fujitsu offers the optional serial interface (RS-232C/422A) board, LocalTalk board, and Ethernet board C for these purposes.

Notice:

When sharing the printer among multiple computers, setting the I/O time-out short may cause a printing problem.
