CONNECTING THE PRINTER TO THE COMPUTER The Star LaserPrinter 8111 comes equipped with both a standard parallel
interface and an RS-232 serial interface. Both can be connected simulta-
neously, though only one can be active at any one time.
The printer comes from the factory pre-set with the IBM parallel interface
active. You can confirm this by looking at the Interface Group portion of
the sample print.

This means that the IBM parallel interface is active. If the serial port were
active, that line would state SERIAL.
