Centronics (Parallel) Submenu
The Centronics submenu provides the options and settings available to
configure the interface as required for your application. These options and
available settings are outlined in the following paragraphs.
Note The Centronics parameters in the printer must be set the same as the
interface in the host computer (at the other end of the data cable of the
printer). Otherwise, the printer might not work online, and data characters
from the computer might not print or might print as “garbled” text.
