Select the YES option to configure an interface board for bi-directional communication, the menu
will advance to multiple configuration screens depending on the type of interface borad installed.
Selecting the NO option will bypass those screens.
Allows the selection of which interface port will be assigned to receive print data. Interface Port 1
(I/F-1) is the smaller card slot of the printer and Interface Port 2 (I/F-2) is the printer’s middle card
slot. The default setting is I/F-2 and accommodates a standard interface card. I/F-1 is to be used
for the optional PCI interface cards.

deleted. Select YES to delete all carriage returns (CR) and line feed (LF) commands in the data

This feature is primarily used to maintain compatibility with earlier models of SATO printers.
