EPSON ESCP Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocol
AUTO The printer automatically senses the active protocol.
This is useful when you use various applications in a
DOS or network environment and cannot determine
the protocol. The efficiency of this function relies on
the recognition of control sequences that are protocol
specific. If such control sequences are not detected in
the data string received, the printer may fail to
determine the proper protocol, providing an
unexpected result.
PORT DEPND The printer selects a protocol according to the active
interface (parallel or serial). See the next options.
<PRTCL SERL> Select a protocol for the serial interface. This is
invalid and skipped when
PORT DEPND is not
selected for the <PROTOCOL> option.
