3 - 17 PRINTER DRIVER AND SOFTWARE
Automatic Interface Selection
This printer has an Automatic Interface Selection feature. When the printer receives data from the
computer, it automatically selects the IEEE 1284 Parallel or the 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 buttons to access
PARALLEL in the INTERFACE
menu. See INTERFACE on page 4-20. 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 buttons to access the
INTERFACE menu. See INTERFACE on page 4-20. For the settings
on your computer, please see your user’s manual for you computer or application software.
When you use the Automatic Interface Selection, note the following:
■
This function takes a few seconds to work. If you want to speed up printing, select the required
interface manually by using the control panel to access
SELECT in the INTERFACE menu.
If you typically use only one interface, we recommend that you select that interface in the INTERFACE
menu. If only one interface is selected, the printer will allocate the entire input buffer to that interface.
