If you select Auto, the printer automatically selects the interface that is
receiving data, and uses that interface until the end of the print job. (A
print job ends when no data is received from the selected interface for the
amount of time specified in the Auto I/F wait time setting described
below.)
Set this option to Parallel if you want the printer to ignore data from the
serial interface, or to Serial if you want the printer to ignore data from the
parallel interface.
Select Option if you have installed an optional interface card and want
the printer to ignore data from the built-in parallel interface.
If you don’t know what type of interface your computer requires, check
your computer manual.
Auto I/F wait time
If you select Auto as the I/F mode option, you can set the interface
timeout to 10 seconds or 30 seconds.
The printer does not accept data from another interface unless it receives
no data from the current interface for the period set in Auto I/F wait time.
Software
Use this setting to specify the type of control codes you want to use to
control the printer.
If you select ESC/P 2, the printer emulates an EPSON ESC/P 2 printer. If
you select IBM X24E, the printer operates as an IBM Proprinter X24E. If
possible, select EPSON ESC/P 2 in your application programs. This will
allow you to use the most advanced font and graphics handling available.
Auto CR
When Auto CR is on, the auto carriage return option performs a
carriage-return line-feed (CR LF) operation whenever the print position
exceeds the right margin. If this is off, the printer does not print characters
beyond the right margin, and does not perform a linewrap until it receives
a CR command. This feature is available when you select IBM X24E
emulation as the Software setting.
