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.
