Owner's Manual

Table B (shown earlier) has the DIP-switch settings for auto
interface selection, parallel interfaces, and for serial interfaces
with odd or no parity. When the auto interface selection is
selected, the printer determines which interface receives data
and then switches to that interface until the end of the print
job. (A print job ends when no data is received from the
selected interface for the amount of time specified by the auto
interface wait time setting.) If you don’t know what type of
interface your computer requires, check your computer
manual. Also check your computer manual to make sure your
computer and printer have the same parity setting.
Serial bit rate
Besides selecting the interface and parity, if your computer is
set up for serial communications you may also need to change
the serial bit (also known as baud) rate setting. The serial bit
rate is the rate at which the printer receives data from the
computer.
Table C (shown earlier) has the DIP-switch settings for the
printer’s four bit rate settings. Check your computer manual or
application program for the correct serial bit rate setting. Your
computer and printer should always be set to the same bit rate.
Page length
To set page lengths other than those listed in Table D (shown
earlier), see the printer commands in Appendix B. Be sure to
set the page length to match the paper you plan to use.
