Auto Switching
Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams sequentially. With
Auto Switching, the printer can service hosts attached to the serial, parallel,
coax and twinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.
For example, if the host computer sends one print job to the
RS-232 serial port and a separate print job to the IEEE 1284 parallel port, the
printer's Auto Switching is able to handle both jobs, in the order they were
received. The user does not have to reconfigure the selected interface
between jobs.
