Interactive (default)—Establish two-way
communication between the host and the printer.

communication from the host to the printer.

host. The printer stops accepting print jobs over
the serial interface.

save the change and exit the Configuration menu, or you can wait for the
change to take effect the next time you manually turn on the printer.
