Interface Set Up
Depending upon which interface is being used to connect the printer to the
host computer, some set up may or may not be required. This is true of the
standard parallel, serial, or Ethernet.
The factory default settings for each interface should work well for most
installations. However, the following paragraphs provide some basic
information about each interface and also refer to the page number in the
“Printer Configuration” chapter where all the details for each interface are
described. If you need to make changes to the default settings, please refer
to “Introduction To Setup” on page 34 for instructions on how to access
the printer’s Setup menus.
Once you are comfortable that the interface settings match those required
by your computer, proceed to the next section, “Installing a New Ribbon
Cartridge” on page 10.
