3.5 Changing the Interface Parameters

3.5Changing the Interface Parameters

The printer is equipped with both a parallel and USB interfaces. Optional serial interface board kit and network interface card can also be installed. Various printing environment parameters such as the default emulation can be changed independently on different interfaces by using the printer’s menu selection system. Select the interface to apply the changes in the procedure described below.

This interface selection described below does not select which interface data will be received from. The printer automatically selects an interface data to be received.

Note

3.5.1Changing Parallel Interface Mode

The parallel interface supports a bi-directional/high-speed mode according to IEEE standards. Normally, this interface is used under the default setting Auto. For details, see Appendix B Computer Interface. After setting the interface, be sure to reset the printer or turn the power off at least once. The new setting will be enabled thereafter. You can select from the following:
