20 Using the Printer
High speed draft
When you choose On, the printer prints up to 413 cps (characters
per second) at 10 cpi (characters per inch). When you choose Off,
the printer prints up to 310 cps at 10 cpi.
I/F (interface) mode
The printer comes with a built-in parallel interface and serial
interface.
If your printer is connected to only one computer, select Parallel
or Serial for the interface mode, depending on the interface you
use. If your printer is connected to two computers, select Auto
(automatic) to allow the printer to automatically switch between
interfaces depending on which one is receiving data.
Auto I/F (interface) wait time
This setting takes effect only when I/F (interface) mode is set to
Auto. This setting determines how long the printer waits when it
no longer receives data from an interface before it checks whether
a print job is being sent through the other interface. You can
specify 10 seconds or 30 seconds for the auto interface wait time.
Baud rate
Use this option to set the data transfer rate (baud) for the serial
interface. The baud rate is measured in bits per second (bps). See
your computer manual and software documentation for the
proper setting.
Parity
When this option is set to None, parity checking is disabled. The
parity bit, if used, provides a basic form of error detection. See
your computer manual and software documentation for the
proper setting.
