interface available for each printer. The following TABLE depicts these interface types:

READY/BUSY Protocol only.
NOTE 2: The ML182-TURBO (Microline) Serial configurations shipped from OKIDATA will contain a
Super Speed Serial Interface Board (19,200 BAUD maximum). This board supports READY/BUSY and
X-ON/X-OFF protocols.
