CHAPTER 1 GENERAL

Universal Paper Cassette and Manual Loading
This printer loads paper automatically from the paper cassette. Since the
paper cassette is a universal type, a number of different sizes of paper
can be used. Even envelopes can be loaded from the multi-purpose tray
and the upper paper cassette. In addition, the multi-purpose tray allows
you to load paper sheet by sheet. See 3-15 for auto loading and 3-16 for
manual loading.
Two Interfaces
This printer has a high speed bi-directional parallel interface and an RS-
232C serial interface.
If your application software supports the bi-directional parallel interface,
you can monitor the printer status. It is fully compatible with the
industry-standard bi-directional parallel interface. See page 2-17.
The RS-232C serial interface is an industry standard so that you can
connect it to any computer using a standard serial cable. See page 2-17.
Automatic Interface Selection
This printer can automatically select the bi-directional parallel or RS-
232C serial, interface depending on the interface port through which it
receives data. With this feature, the printer can be connected to more
than one computer. See page 3-5.
