CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER

AUTOMATIC INTERFACE SELECTION
This printer has an automatic interface selection function. When the
printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the bi-
directional parallel, Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface , RS-232C
serial interface or MIO interface as appropriate.
When you use the parallel interface, you can turn the high-speed and bi-
directional parallel communications on or off with the MODE switch
further information, see “MODE Switch” in Chapter 4
automatic interface selection mode has been factory set to ON, simply
connect the interface cable to the printer.
When you use the serial interface, you need to have the same
communications settings on both the printer and computer. Since the
automatic interface selection mode has been factory set with certain
settings, you may be able to simply connect the interface cable to the
printer if your computer has the settings listed below.
Communications Parameters
Factory Settings
Baud rate (data transfer speed)

If a commercial interface card has been installed in the MIO card slot, it
can be selected automatically.
When necessary, select the interface or the serial communications
parameters manually with the MODE switch (INTERFACE MODE) on
the printer.

For the settings on the computer, see the manual of the computer or
software you are using.
