Host Interface Submenu
The Host Interface Submenu enables you to select one of many types of
interfaces between the printer and your host computer. The currently selected
interface is indicated with an asterisk on the control panel message display.
Each interface has its own submenu with a set of interface parameters which
can be configured.
Auto Switching
Auto Switching gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams
sequentially. With Auto Switching, the printer can service hosts attached to
the serial, parallel, and Ethernet ports as if they were the only interface
connected.
For example, if the host computer sends one print job to the RS-232 serial
port and a separate print job to the IEEE 1284 parallel port, the printer's Auto
Switching is able to handle both jobs, in the order they were received. The
user does not have to reconfigure the selected interface between jobs.
