cpi (characters per inch). When you choose On,theprinterprints
up to 480 cps (characters per second) at 10 cpi. When you choose
Off, the printer prints up to 360 cps at 10 cpi.
I/F mode
The printer provides built-in slots for three kinds of interfaces;
Parallel, Serial, and USB. You can choose Auto (automatic),
Parallel, Serial,orUSB, for the interface mode. When you select
Auto, the printer automatically selects the interface that is
receiving data, and uses that interface until the end of the print
job. The Auto setting allows you to share the printer among
multiple computers without changing the interface mode. When
the printer turns on in Auto I/F mode and PR2 mode, this mode
is set to Serial.
If only one computer is connected to the printer, you can select
Parallel, Serial,orUSB depending on which interface your
computer uses.
