3.5 Changing the Interface Parameters

3.5Changing the Interface Parameters

The printer is equipped with a parallel interface. Option 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 to receive data from
Note	the computer. The printer automatically detects
	and switches to the interface on which data are
	being received.

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:

•Auto (default)

•Nibble/high speed

•High speed

•Normal

1	Press the MENU key.
2	Press the U or V key repeatedly until Interface
	> appears.
3	If the interface is other than parallel, press the
	ENTER key. A blinking question mark (?) appears.
			Interface
		? Network
4
	Press the U or V key repeatedly until Parallel
	appears.
			Interface
		? Parallel
5
	Press the ENTER key again. The question mark
	disappears.

6	To change the parallel interface mode, press the Z
	key. The current communication mode appears.
7	To change the communication mode, press the
	ENTER key. A blinking question mark (?) appears.
			>Parallel I/F
		? Auto
8
	Press the U or V key to scroll through the following
	communication modes:
	Auto
	Normal
	High Speed
	Nibble (high)
9	When the desired communication mode is displayed,
	press the ENTER key.
10	Press the MENU key to exit the menu selection.

3.5.2Changing Serial Interface Parameters

This section applies to the printers having the option serial interface board kit (IB-11)

Note installed.

You can confirm or change the serial interface parameters including baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and protocol. These parameters must match those of the computer’s serial interface.

1	Press the MENU key.
2	Press the U or V key repeatedly until Interface
	> appears.
3	If the interface is other than serial, press the ENTER
	key. A blinking question mark (?) appears.
