User's Manual

If you can, change the settings on the computer rather than the
interface board because the interface is set up at the factory to give
optimum performance in a wide range of conditions. If your dealer has
installed the interface for you, he or she should also be able to adjust
the computer and interface to achieve a good match.
If you do need to change the settings on the interface yourself,
(perhaps in order to use a different computer), the tables below will
help you match the computer and interface. The settings given in the
table cover the conventions used by the computer and printer as data
is transferred. There are other DIP switches and jumpers, but for most
purposes you only need change the settings described here. The other
settings are described in the manual supplied with the interface.
The three following tables contain all the information you need for
the optional interface settings.
