Auto Polling

Both the serial port and parallel port of this printer can be activated at the same time, i.e the printer can simultaneously communicate with two PC via different port. However as no port contention is made for this printer, if both PC transmit data at the same time to this printer, the data may become damaged in the receiving buffer.
