Getting Started

The printer can also be connected to the host with a parallel connection. In addition, the printer has a unique feature where if you connect both the serial and parallel cables to the printer at the same time, the printer will automatically interface to the first connection, (serial or parallel) that transmits valid data. After a connection has been made, the printer must be turned off and then back on again to change the interface connection.
