3.5 Changing the Interface Parameters
The printer is equipped with both a parallel and USB interfaces. Optional serial interface
board kit and network interface card can also be installed. Various printing environment
parameters such as the default emulation can be changed independently on different
interfaces by using the printer’s menu selection system. Select the interface to apply the
changes in the procedure described below.
3.5.1 Changing Parallel Interface Mode

standards. Normally, this interface is used under the default setting Auto. For details, see

turn the power off at least once. The new setting will be enabled thereafter. You can select
from the following:
• Auto (default)
• Nibble/high speed
• High speed
