This printer has an automatic interface selection function. When the printer
receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the IEEE 1284
Parallel or USB interface, whichever is appropriate.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-
directional parallel communications on or off by using the control panel to
access the PARALLEL menu in INTERFACE mode. For more information,
see
. Since the automatic interface selection mode has been
factory set to ON, simply connect the interface cable to the printer. (Note:
Always turn off both your computer and printer when connecting or
disconnecting the cable).
When necessary, select the interface or the serial communications
parameters manually by using the control panel to access the INTERFACE
mode. For more information, see
computer, please refer to your user’s manual for your computer or
application software.
