interface through which they are received, when jobs are received
simultaneously. In other words, you can give jobs received via the
LocalTalk interface priority over jobs received via the parallel and
serial interfaces.

Use the Administration/Communications/Parallel menu to set the par-
allel interface values used for printer-host communications.
